The possible development of a room-temperature, 16 ..mu..m CF/sub 4/ laser optically pumped by 5 ..mu..m radiation from a frequency-doubled CO/sub 2/ laser was investigated. This laser would utilize pumping of the ..nu../sub 3/ + ..nu../sub 4/ band of CF/sub 4/ at 1916 cm/sup -1/ with subsequent lasing to ..nu../sub 3/ levels at 1283 cm/sup -1/ where there is essentially no thermally excited population. A spectrophone instrument was used to measure absorption cross sections of CF/sub 4/ at the second harmonic frequencies of 22 of the 10 ..mu..m CO/sub 2/ laser transitions. Lasing experiments to detect transitions at 16 ..mu..m are described.
