Abstract

In a recent publication we reported the first cw operation of a 12-μm NH3 laser.1 Initial experiments produced a cw output power of ~1 W at 12.08 μm by optically pumping the sR(5,0) transition in NH3 with the R(30) 9-μm CO2 laser line. A Raman process was shown to be the mechanism responsible for gain in this laser system, and the technique is potentially a very versatile and efficient method of generating powerful cw lasers throughout the mid-infrared (MIR) region.
