Abstract
Optical pumping of molecular gases with the CO2 laser has produced a large number of discrete laser wavelengths in the far-IR region.1 However, the lack of tunability of these far-IR lasers has limited their usefulness in applications such as plasma diagnostics and solid-state and molecular spectroscopy.8 Development of a broadly tunable far-IR laser is, therefore, of considerable interest.
