Abstract
A terahertz NH3 laser optically pumped by a “long” (~100 μs) pulse of an electron-beam-controlled discharge CO2 laser was for the first time launched, the NH3- and CO2 laser pulses being simultaneously measured with nanosecond resolution. The NH3 laser pulse duration and its lasing delay relative to the pump pulse beginning were measured versus the CO2 laser pulse energy. The terahertz emission wavelengths of the NH3 laser pumped by 9R(30) CO2 laser line were identified – 67.2, 83.8, and 88.9 μm.
