Efficient NH3 laser operation in the 16- to 21-μm region

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An optically pumped NH3 laser is simultaneously pumped by two pulsed CO2 lasers operating on the 9R(30) and 9R(24) transitions. Inversion is created in the NH3 2v2-to-v2 band, and line-tunable radiation is generated in the 16- to 21-μm region. The maximum pulse energy observed is 100 mJ, with a photon conversion efficiency from 9 to 18 μm of approximately 14%.
