| Abstract: | Far-infrared laser action is reported for the first time from the optically pumped CH2F2molecule. Lasing on twelve FIR transitions was produced by pumping with six emission lines in theRbranch of the 9.6 μm band of the CW CO2laser. High conversion efficiencies of up to 20 percent of the quantum limit have been obtained with the stronger FIR laser lines. |
