Thirty-nine new submillimeter laser lines in CH/sub 2/F/sub 2/ and twelve in CD/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ have been obtained in a Fabry-Perot FIR resonator by optically pumping with a CW (C-12)(O-18)/sub 2/ laser. The wavelength range obtained for CH/sub 2/F/sub 2/ is 126 microns to 1091 microns and for CD/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ 212 microns to 774 microns. The wavelength measurements are accurate to within 0.005. The relative polarizations of the pump laser and the FIR laser output were also determined. Tentative assignments of the IR and FIR transitions were made using existing microwave data.
