Abstract :
Resonantly enhanced three-wave mixing of the 10.784 μm 
(18) line of the C13O2 16laser and microwave radiation at 26.378 GHz in Stark tunable N14H3 has resulted in upconverted parametric output at 10.774 μm. The energy levels of N14H3 involved in the interaction and the apparatus used in the experiment are described. Experimental results showing saturation of the parametric signal with increasing N14H3 pressure, input microwave power, and input laser power are described.
