The saturation behavior of the 70 μm and the 119 μm transitions in CH3 OH has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. This knowledge is essential for constructing a complete model of the CW laser pumped FIR laser. Saturated gain measurements made in a single pass amplifier cell were found to be in good agreement with the theory of a quantum-mechanical three-level system in resonant interaction with two coherent fields. The calculation of the gain using the density matrix formalism yields a pump intensity dependent saturation, a result which is not predicted by the rate equation models. 相似文献

Fifteen new CW FIR laser lines are reported from Stark tuned CO2 optically pumped CH3 OH and CH3 OD. Four new CW laser lines have also been observed from zero field optically pumped CH3 OD, three with a CO2 laser, and one with an N2 O laser. 相似文献

A four-level rate-equation model for an optically pumped far-infrared (FIR) laser is presented, and an expression is derived for the output power as a function of pump power and gas pressure. The theory is compared with measurements on the 570.5-μm line of CH3 OH, pumped by a CO2 laser. The width of the gain curve is measured and is shown to go below the Doppler width of the laser transition at low pressure. This indicates that the use of a monochromatic pump source leads to a velocity selective pumping process. 相似文献

A far infrared (FIR) frequency synthesis technique using saturated-absorption stabilized CO2 lasers and a point-contact diode has been used to measure frequencies of a number of strong CW H2 O, D2 O, and CH3 OH laser lines. The first frequency measurements of the 79-μm H2 O, the 73- and 108-μm D2 O, and 11 CO2 -pumped CW12CH2 16OH laser lines are reported. This measurement is the first demonstration of the general usefulness of CO2 lasers for accurate synthesis of FIR frequencies. 相似文献

Precise absorption measurements on vibration-rotation transitions pumping far-infrared (FIR) laser transitions in HCOOH, CH3 OH, CH3 I and CH3 F were carried out using a frequency-stabilized and intensity-controlled CO2 laser. Linear absorption coefficients and saturation intensities as a function of pressure are obtained. With the help of a rate equation model it is concluded that within the pressure range relevant for CW FIR lasers the rate of deexcitation of pumped molecules is limited by rotational relaxation. For CH3 F, limitation by diffusion of excited molecules to the cell wall is observed. 相似文献

To reduce the linewidth mismatch between the emission lines of a CO2 -TEA laser and the absorption lines of a low-pressure FIR gain medium a tiltable Ge etalon has been introduced into the TEA resonator. The resulting spectral compression and tunability increase the energy conversion efficiency in a TEA laser pumped CH3 OH laser by as much as a factor of 37 and has led to the observation of 14 new FIR laser lines. 相似文献

Far-infrared laser action is reported for the first time from the optically pumped CH2 F2 molecule. Lasing on twelve FIR transitions was produced by pumping with six emission lines in theR branch of the 9.6 μm band of the CW CO2 laser. High conversion efficiencies of up to 20 percent of the quantum limit have been obtained with the stronger FIR laser lines. 相似文献

Quantum mechanical predictions for the gain of an optically pumped CW FIR laser are presented for cases in which one or both of the pump and FIR transitions are pressure or Doppler broadened. The results are compared to those based on the rate equation model. Some of the quantum mechanical predictions are verified in CH3 OH. 相似文献

Theoretical and experimental results are presented for a pulsed far-infrared (FIR) molecular gas laser with high intensity laser pumping. In these FIR lasers, high intensity pumping is found to produce stimulated Raman emission at very large offsets (up to 30 GHz) from resonance with the intermediate state. A theoretical, density matrix model is developed for these lasers to account for simultaneous Raman emission on rotational levels in the ground and excited vibrational states (double Raman resonance). This theoretical approach is necessary in the case of off-resonant, high intensity pumping. Theory predicts the FIR emission frequency, the FIR laser gain, and the pump threshold intensity as a function of pump laser frequency. Experimental results are obtained onP -,Q -, andR -branch transitions in12CH3 F and13CH3 F using a single-mode, grating tuned CO2 TEA pump laser with an intensity of up to 40 MW/cm2. Good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment for the observed values of FIR emission frequency and pump threshold intensity. These results indicate that a widely tunable (150-1200 mu m), pulsed FIR CH3 F laser could be constructed with a tunable, multiatmospheric CO2 pump laser of modest power (about 2-5 MW). 相似文献

A long-pulse CO2 waveguide laser is described, which can be single frequency tuned over 500 MHz in about 80 lines. A peak power reaching 125 W at line center and 85 W at the tuning edge in the strongest lines makes the laser ideally suited for optically pumped FIR lasers. New FIR lines have been observed by pumping CH3 OH in absorptions located up to 268 MHz from the CO2 line center. FIR wavelengths have been measured, identified, and compared to calculations at a level of relative accuracy of5 cdot 10^{-5} . 相似文献

The FIR Raman and laser gain properties of14NH3 optically pumped by the CO2 9R(30) and the N2 O10P(13) laser lines, respectively, have been measured and calculated using the quantum mechanical theory of three-level systems. The laser gain is about two orders of magnitude higher than for usual FIR laser transitions. The Raman gain shows two features characteristic for the two-photon process: extremely high saturation intensity and high pressure maximum. Very satisfactory agreement between theoretically calculated and experimentally measured gain properties is found. 相似文献

A continuously tunable far infrared (FIR) laser has been demonstrated; experimental results are presented. A high-pressure (10-12 atm) continuously tunable CO2 TE laser is used to pump Raman transitions in CH3 F; the generation of continuously tunable radiation in the250-300 mu m wavelength range is reported. Accurate frequency and bandwidth measurements have been made and the FIR bandwidth in superradiant emission isapprox4-5 GHz. Consequently, the generation of frequency tunable, subnanosecond pulses in the FIR appears feasible. The generation of tunable laser radiation from 150 to 1000 μm by stimulated Raman scattering should be possible using higher pump intensity and/or other gases. 相似文献

The effect of low electric field Stark tuning on the absorption of CH3 OH gas at theP(12) 9.4-mu CO2 laser line has been studied. At the 220-mtorr CH3 OH pressure optimal for CH3 OH far-infrared (FIR) laser operation, the line center absorption coefficient increases by a factor of 5 with a Stark field of 2.3 kV/cm. 相似文献

26 new FIR laser lines have been observed in CO2 laser pumped CH3 OH, and together with some previously observed lines their wavelengths have been measured with a relative accuracy of3 times 10^{-4} by using the FIR resonator as a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. Based on the internal consistency of the data, it is suggested that a number of the lines originate from combination bands involving simultaneous excitation of the CO stretch mode and a different vibrational mode. 相似文献

By means of a detailed analysis of the v 2 infrared band of D218O, it has been possible to assign most of the FIR emissions reported in the literature. Moreover, two FIR laser lines which fall in the range of tunability of the CW waveguide CO2 laser have been predicted and observed. The frequency of the stronger line was measured and found to be 2611.4185(10) GHz, thus filling a gap in the presently available comb of FIR laser lines whose frequencies have been measured. The wavelength precision of the assigned lines was improved by about two orders of magnitude 相似文献

The 373-μm line of CH3 CN was operated in a CW mode in an arrangement where the submillimeter (SMM)-wave laser is placed inside the resonator of the CO2 pump laser. 1 mW of CW output power was obtained; this is five times the power of a comparable SMM-wave laser in the common extracavity arrangement. In a pulsed mode, a peak power of 46 mW was measured. 相似文献

Low-vibrational-levelP(J)_{upsilon,upsilon'} CO laser emissions have been measured from He-air-CH4 mixtures. The CW lines below 5.0μ were measured in air to occur at 4.8836, 4.8935, 4.8974, 4.9072, 4.9366, 4.9466, 4.9670, and 4.9778μ. These emissions are tentatively identified to result from transitions as low asupsilon = 3 : 2 . Such emissions were relatively more frequent with CH4 than with CO specifically. 相似文献

Assignments are presented for seven far infrared (FIR) laser lines of CH3 OH pumped by theS-9P(31),18-10R(24),13-9R(26) , and13-9P(16) CO2 laser lines, plus an interesting speculation for the FIR line pumped by the18-9P(12) CO2 line. Frequencies have been deduced to a substantially improved accuracy of ±0.001 cm-1from IR and FIR spectroscopic combination differences for most of the assigned lines as well as three other predicted transitions. In addition, accurate frequencies are given for 13 predicted FIR laser transitions which are expected from the IR spectrum to be pumped by three16O12C18O laser lines. 相似文献
