A source of nanosecond IR pulses tunable from 2.8 to 16 ..mu..m (3500 to 630 cm/sup -1/) is obtained by stimulated electronic Raman scattering (SERS) on the cesium 6s--5d transition. Reliable rhodamine and DCM dye-laser pulses are frequently shifted with up to 10% quantum conversion efficiency to obtain up to 2 mJ of IR pulse energy, a 5--25 x improvement in energy over previous SERS infrared generation. The tuning curve structure and unwanted amplified spontaneous emission lines are also substantially reduced.
