Application of the optoacoustic effect in optically pumped submillimeter lasers

An experimental investigation has been conducted on the dependence of the optoacoustic signal generated in an optically pumped sub-mm laser system on gas pressure and modulation frequency. A theoretical account is given for the results obtained. While an extracavity optoacoustic cell that contains the laser gas (diluted with air) can be used to stabilize the pump laser frequency to maximum absorption, it is noted that laser output optimization does not always result. 10 references.
