High power pulsed millimeter laser Raman generation in CH3F

Abstract This work reports about the production of millimeter Raman pulsed emission obtained in CH 3 F by means of a high pressure continuously tunable CO 2 laser. Some new strong lines are observed with peak power up to the kW range. The results are in agreement with the Raman scattering theory. The emissions are observed by tuning the CO 2 laser over several GHz.
