  • Abstract
    Optical pumping of a submillimeter wave (SMMW) laser with a relatively compact RF-excited CW CO2laser is described. The increased frequency tunability of the waveguide pump laser has resulted in new low threshold SMMW emissions in C2H2F2, CDF3, and CD2F2by pumping into absorption lines which are beyond the tuning range of a conventional CO2laser. Frequency offsets and some assignments obtained with the aid of a tunable diode laser heterodyne spectrometer are reported.
