The use of a dual-frequency dye laser system to generate continuously tunable far-infrared radiation over the frequency range from 20 to 190 cm/sup -1/ is reported. Both collinear (forward and backward) and noncollinear phase matching in LiNbO/sub 3/ over most of this frequency range and forward collinear phase matching in ZnO, ZnS, CdS, and CdSe at selected frequencies were investigated.
