Abstract

This paper examines various aspects of the generation of infrared radiation at 8.62 μm by noncollinear phase-matched four photon mixing of CO2 laser beams in germanium at room temperature, as a potential infrared source for the uranium laser isotope separation in UF6

Supported in part by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Funds and in part by the Advanced Research Projects Agency through the Office of Naval Research
