Abstract :
A long-pulse CO2 waveguide laser is described, which can be single frequency tuned over 500 MHz in about 80 lines. A peak power reaching 125 W at line center and 85 W at the tuning edge in the strongest lines makes the laser ideally suited for optically pumped FIR lasers. New FIR lines have been observed by pumping CH3 OH in absorptions located up to 268 MHz from the CO2 line center. FIR wavelengths have been measured, identified, and compared to calculations at a level of relative accuracy of
