title: Effects of passive isolation on several optically pumped far-infrared laser lines.
abstract: The effects of a recently introduced passive-isolation scheme for optically pumped far-infrared lasers have been investigated on several well-known far-infrared laser lines. In addition to increasing the laser output stability, the isolation scheme alters the pump-to-far-infrared power-conversion efficiency and the polarization state of the far-infrared output.
