Abstract
Recent developments in the optical pumping of high-pressure molecular lasers, particularly continuously tunable high- pressure molecular lasers, are described. Included are some experimental results on optically pumped pure CO2 lasers, optically pumped ultrahigh-pressure CO2 -He lasers, and optically pumped N2 O/CO2 transfer lasers. Recent efforts to use the output from these devices for high-resolution infrared spectroscopy are also described.
