Abstract
A large number of laser transitions in the 11–17‐μm region have been obtained by optically pumping CF4, NOCl, CF3I, and NH3 with a single line‐tunable CO2 TEA laser. These lasers have respectable conversion efficiency and can be scaled to high energies in a spectral region where the selective excitation of molecules is prerequisite to performing selective photodissociation and laser‐induced chemistry experiments.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
