Abstract

A low power optically-pumped FIR laser was installed for supplying frequency standard to FEL. The pumping power of single IR line from a grating turned CO₂ laser was below ten watts. The FIR output achieved was unstable. In this paper, sources of instability and their solving methods were reported. In addition, a new design for compact optically- pumped waveguide FIR laser was also introduced. In this design, a traditional CO₂ laser envelope was skillfully used as the base frame.
