Radiance enhancement of the 16-. mu. m CF/sub 4/ laser
Journal Article
·
· Opt. Lett.; (United States)
The spectral radiance and quantum yield of the CF/sub 4/ laser operating at 16 ..mu..m have been increased more than an order of magnitude by narrowing the frequency bandwidth of the CO/sub 2/ pump laser and by telescopically mathcing the pump radiation to the lowest-order mode of the 16..mu..m resonator. The temporal and spectral characteristics of the radiation, as well as the optical gain of the laser, have been determined.
