ABSTRACT:
The disclosed laser employs a working gas comprising ammonia and a buffer gas which is chemically non-reactive with ammonia. A pumping laser beam at a wavelength of 9.2 .mu.m, provided by a carbon dioxide laser tuner to the R(30) transition of the 001-020 band, irradiates the working gas to excite ammonia molecules from the symmetric ground state to the anti-symmetric .nu..sub.2 =1 vibrational manifold. Collisions with buffer gas molecules cause the excited ammonia molecules to undergo intra-molecular energy transfer to a plurality of energy levels in the symmetric .nu..sub.2 =1 vibrational manifold. Laser oscillation is achieved simultaneously on a plurality of .nu..sub.2 =1 to ground transitions in the wavelength range extending from about 9.3 .mu.m to about 13.8 .mu.m.
