ABSTRACT:
In the disclosed parametric frequency converter a dc electric field is utilized to remove spatial inversion symmetry of NH.sub.2 D gas molecules contained in a Stark cell. Simultaneous introduction into the Stark cell of a laser beam at a frequency f.sub.1 (e.g., corresponding to about 10.6 .mu.m) and microwaves at a frequency f.sub.2 (e.g., about 4.1 GHz) produces resonantly enhanced parametric mixing of the frequencies f.sub.1 and f.sub.2, resulting in the generation of a laser beam at the difference frequency f.sub.3 = f.sub.1 - f.sub.2.
