Abstract

Based on the density matrix theory of quantum system, the optimum operating parameters of pulsed optically pumped NH3 and CH3OH F-P cavity far-infrared laser (NH3/CH3OH-OPFIRL) were studied and compared theoretically. The differences of the operating parameters between the NH3-OPFIRL and CH3OH-OPFIRL were found and discussed. Experimentally, the curves of output power verses gas pressure in NH3 and CH3OH F-P cavity lasers pumped by TEA-CO2 laser were measured, and the optimum operating gas pressure were obtained. The experimental results were in agreement with theoretical calculations.
