Abstract
Laser action from optically pumped acetonitrile was first obtained by Chang and McGee (1971). New emissions were then reported by Chang and McGee (1976) and Radford (1975). At the present the CH3CN molecule has generated 32 laser lines in the wavelength range from 281 μm to 1814 μm, as listed in Table I-1. Precise FIR frequency measurements were reported by Radford et al. (1977) (lines n. 21, 27) and by Dyubko and Fesenko (1978) (lines n. 4, 5, 17, 27).
