Compact, pulsed low-pressure far infrared laser for use in plasma diagnostics.
The operation of a pulsed, watt-level, low-pressure far infrared (FIR) laser is described. Single mode output powers of 0.1-1 W are obtained from several molecular gases in the 300-1200 microm region. Plasma diagnostic applications are discussed.
