Abstract
We have used an N2O laser to optically pump N2H4 molecules in a far-infrared cavity and observed 17 new laser lines in the wavelength range 93.0 to 374.2 µm, the 136.8 µm line pumped by 10P(16) being a doublet. We measured the frequencies of the laser lines by heterodyne mixing of the far-infrared radiation with radiation from two frequency-stabilized CO2 lasers.
