Abstract :
FIR emissions in three directions from a FIR NH3 laser cavity having a zig-zag axis were observed when radiation from a pump CO 2 laser with multiple or single modes was linearly injected into the cavity. The temporal variation and Fabry-Perot interferogram of these emissions showed that the FIR zig-zag emission is dominated by a laser process due to a population inversion, while the other forward and backward emissions are due to a Raman process
