Optically pumped FIR lasers: Frequency and power measurements and laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Optically pumped FIR lasers are currently in use in both frequency metrology and laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy programs in the NBS Boulder labs. The laser for use in frequency metrology is a CW 71 μm methyl alcohol waveguide laser with over 100 mW output for frequency synthesis. Another lase...

Description
Summary:Optically pumped FIR lasers are currently in use in both frequency metrology and laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy programs in the NBS Boulder labs. The laser for use in frequency metrology is a CW 71 μm methyl alcohol waveguide laser with over 100 mW output for frequency synthesis. Another laser with an intracavity absorption cell for laser spectroscopy has been constructed and is nearly transversely pumped. The metrology technique used to measure the frequency of these lasers is briefly reviewed and a unique power meter is described.
