Abstract
A compact CO2 -NH3 FIR laser system, with an NH3 laser cavity inserted in the pump CO2 laser cavity, was designed. Temporally smooth and reproducible single mode NH3 laser pulses with an energy of 5 mJ (20 kW peak power) were obtained at the 152 μm line when optically pumped by the injection-locked single-mode CO2 laser with a pulse energy of 0.3 J.
