Abstract

Using a grating-tuned CO2-TEA laser to pump CH3OH in a metallic-wave-guide resonator, submillimeter laser emissions have been produced by pumping with 36 lines in the 9.4μm CO2 band and with 23 lines in the 10.6μm band. Several dozen new SMM laser lines were observed. Wavelengths accurate to within ∼0.1% are given for 12 previously unmeasured lines between 34μm and 225μm.
