Fluoroform-d optically pumped submillimeter-wave laser.
Submillimeter-wave laser action in deuterated fluoroform is reported for the first time to our knowledge. A total of 27 lines was observed when CDF(3) was pumped by various CO(2) lines in the 9- and 10-microm regions. Near-milliwatt-level cw power on 10 lines was observed in a nonoptimized hole-coupled metallic-waveguide resonator. Tentative spectroscopic assignments are made for the strongest lines.
