A new pulsed CO2 laser yielding new FIR laser lines from CH3OD pumped by the 10P and 10HP lines

Using a novel CO2 pulsed laser that presents high peak power (several hundreds of watts) together with high spectral purity, we have reinvestigated the CH3OD isotopomer of methanol as a source of far infrared laser emissions pumped by the 10P and 10HP CO2 laser lines. Thirty-five new lines have been observed and characterized for wavelength, offset, relative polarization, optimum operation pressure and relative intensity.3791979198
