ABSTRACT
A simple and inexpensive method is described for extending the tuning range of a conventional cw CO2 laser into the 11�13-�m region. The technique consists of optically pumping a mixture of NH3 in Ar confined in a capillary waveguide. An output power as high as 1.9 W is attained in the 12-�m region from a pump power of only 8.8 W and a total of 12 laser transitions are observed in 15NH3. The construction of a compact line-tunable laser is described.
