title: Application of an isotopically enriched 13C16O2 laser to an optically pumped far-infrared laser.
abstract: We have demonstrated the application of an isotopically enriched 13C16O2 cw laser to an optically pumped far-infrared (FIR) waveguide laser. High-efficiency low-threshold 15NH3 FIR laser emission is reported at 153 and 375 microm.
