By pumping CH/sub 3/F with a 150-mJ, continuously tunable, multiatmosphere CO/sub 2/ laser, we have produced approx.0.2-mJ far-infrared laser pulses that can be turned quasi-continuously over approx.85% or the range from 220 to 400 ..mu..m. The turntable far-infrared laser action results from two-photon (Raman) transitions in the R branch of the CH/sub 3/F ..nu../sub 3/ band.
