Abstract

Using a continuously tunable high pressure CO₂ laser as pump source, we obtain laser action at 58 lines, 48 detected for the first time, from D₂O gas. 53 of these lines, covering the frequency region from 26 cm^-1 to 236 cm^-1, were found to occur by stimulated Raman scattering with a maximum bandwidth of the Raman gain regions of 17 GHz. We made use of these broad amplification profiles for generation of subnanosecond far infrared pulses.
