The authors present a survey in the spectral region of 200-700 cm/sup -1/ (14-50 ..mu..m) of pulsed mirrorless gas lasers pumped by a TEA CO/sub 2/ laser. 55 lines are found covering the wavelength range 15.8-57 cm/sup -1/ in the gases NH/sub 3/, /sup 15/NH/sub 3/, D/sub 2/O, CH/sub 3/OH, CD/sub 3/OH, and CD/sub 3/OD. Most of these lines are reported for the first time. One of the strongest lines (26.4 ..mu..m in NH/sub 3/) emits a considerable pulse energy of 100 mJ. No lines were found in C/sub 2/H/sub 5/OH and C/sub 3/H/sub 6/O.
