Optically pumped submillimeter lasers utilizing CD3COND2 and ND2CD2COOD molecules

For the first time, nine emission lines in the 303–545 μm range were obtained from a submillimeter laser utilizing CD₃COND₂ molecules and five emission lines in the 86–973 μm range were obtained utilizing ND₂CD₂COOD molecules pumped optically by a cw tunable CO₂ laser. Data on the wavelengths, the relative intensity, and the polarization of the emission lines are presented.
