Abstract
It is shown that the major features of the far‐infrared ``CN laser'' are due to the HCN molecule. The intense line at 337 μ and other nearby lines are explained as transitions involving the 1110 and 0400 vibrational states, which are mixed by a Coriolis perturbation. The mechanism of the laser is discussed.Keywords
