CO laser (carbon monoxide)
PL 3
Edinburgh Instruments
With over 30 years expertise in designing and manufacturing a range of optically pumped FIR (Terahertz) lasers, our products are used in applications where coherent radiation in the range of 40 μm to 1.22mm (0.25 -7.5 THz) is required.
When combined with our PL Series of CO2 lasers the FIR laser becomes a powerful tool for taking laser line measurement at high peak powers.
FIR laser frequencies arise from rotational transitions in an excited
vibrational state of a polar gas molecule at low pressure. The optically pumped FIR laser relies on the selective absorption of tunable infrared radiation to create a population inversion between rotational states and hence generation laser action.
In practice, a few molecules are chosen to provide discrete frequencies across the entire FIR spectrum from 40μm upwards.
Tables of FIR lines and additional Laser accessories are available on request.
