  • Abstract
    Passive Q switching of IR lasers (N2O as well as CO2) has been applied for the detection of coincidences within a few 100 MHz between laser lines (νL) and molecular transitions (νM). Polar (12CH3F,13CH3F, C2H5OH, and C6H5CH3) as well as nonpolar molecules (SiH4, GeH4, CCl4, C2H4, C3H4, and C6H6) have been studied. The phenomenon depends strongly on the frequency mismatch \\Delta \\nu = \\nu_{M} - \\nu_{L}. 81 combinations between laser lines and molecular absorption lines were found to produce the Q -switch effect.
