Abstract:
We have measured the frequencies of 12 known and 3 new submillimeter laser lines obtained by pumping12CH3OH with a cw waveguide CO2 laser in a Fabry-Perot far infrared resonator. We have also measured the relative polarization and the pumping CO2 frequency offset for each line.Supported in part by a joint grant with the U.S. National Science Foundation # INT80-19014 and the Brazilian Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas (CNPq).Work of the U.S. Government; not subject to U.S. copyright.
