We report on the generation of widely tunable intense far-infrared radiation pulses by stimulated Raman transitions in methylfluoride gas. Using a tunable high-pressure CO{sub 2} laser we achieved, by {ital P}-branch tuning of stimulated Raman transitions in {sup 12}CH{sub 3}F and {sup 13}CH{sub 3}F gases, tunable generation of radiation in a series of intervals in the spectral range from 37 to 72 cm{sup {minus}1} covering 20% of this range. Possibilities of further extension of the tuning regions are also discussed.
