A sequence CO/sub 2/ laser is used to pump NH/sub 3/ optically to produce laser action in the 12-..mu..m region. The pump-frequency offsets for the 9.4-..mu..m P(7) and P(17) sequence lines are measured to be 86 and 142 MHz, respectively. These small offsets enable efficient laser operation to be obtained at low pumping powers.
