Abstract :
Submillimeter wave laser action is reported in CHD2F on 17 "parent" transitions plus three cascade lines. Accurate heterodyne frequency measurements are reported for nine lines. Useful output powers of greater than 1 mW were observed for several lines. The strongest line, which is at 384.3 μm, is particularly significant because of its potential as a local oscillator for the 385 μm D2O laser.
