A compact CO2-NH3 FIR laser system where an NH3 laser cavity was inserted in a pump, three mirror CO2 laser cavity was designed. The total length of this system was about 1.8 m. Output energy of about 1 mJ (about 10 KW peak power) was obtained at the 152-micron and 90-micron lines in NH3. Power conversion efficiency of 1.7 percent was obtained at the 90-micron line. 8 references.
