Abstract
The application of an optically pumped FIR laser to surface wave spectroscopy is described. The surface phonon polariton on CsBr was excited with a prism coupler. The optical constants of the prism material polyethylene and the sample CsBr are given for\(\tilde \nu = 84.15\) and 85.30 cm−1.
