16-..mu.. and 8.5-..mu.. tunable lasing outputs were obtained from two sequential stimulated Raman scattering processes in K vapor using two visible dye lasers concurrently. Greater than 10 mW of 16-..mu.. output was obtained for a 1-kW pump power. Tuning range of 2--4 cm/sup -1/ was observed. Kinetic information on the quenching of the 4P levels of K was deduced from the 16-..mu.. signal amplitudes as a function of the delay time between the two lasers. (AIP)
