We propose a tunable electronic Raman-scattering process which yields tuning of the scattered frequency over >10 cm/sup -1/ in the far infrared. For a specific example of donor levels in GaAs and an incident photon frequency of approx.66.2 cm/sup -1/ (151 ..mu..m), a magnetic field of 10--30 kG yields Raman-scattering cross sections of 10/sup -24/--10/sup -23/ cm/sup 2/ sr/sup -1/. We show that a tunable Raman laser covering a frequency region from approx.30.7 to approx.16.0 cm/sup -1/ (i.e., from approx.325 to approx.625 ..mu..m) is feasible.
