Abstract

The effect of buffer gas N2 on miniature optically pumped NH3 submillimeter wave (SMMW) cavity laser emission at 67.2μm was studied theoretically and experimentally. It has been found that: 1. N2 had a positive effect on laser output of 67.2μm, 2. sharp absorption in laser spectrum under certain gases mixture pressure corresponded to the threshold of 'bottleneck effect”.
