A new type of stabilization system for optically pumped far infrared (FIR) lasers based on a dual modulation technique is described, which allows the control of the laser output power both as a function of the CO2-laser pumping frequency and the FIR laser cavity length. The system greatly improves the laser output stability and causes only a negligible modulation (less than 1 percent) of the output power. An additional feature, an electronic search circuit for emission lines, simplifies working at the laser even by inexperienced people.
