Abstract :
Recent developments in the optical pumping of high-pressure molecular lasers, particularly continuously tunable high- pressure molecular lasers, are described. Included are some experimental results on optically pumped pure CO2lasers, optically pumped ultrahigh-pressure CO2-He lasers, and optically pumped N2O/CO2transfer lasers. Recent efforts to use the output from these devices for high-resolution infrared spectroscopy are also described.
