Harmonic coincidences between cw gas laser lines for extending frequency measurements to the 10μm wavelength region

Wavelength and frequency data for far-infrared c.w. gas laser lines have been scanned using a computer for chains of harmonic coincidences suitable for transferring frequency measurements from the submillimetre to the 10m wavelength region. A table of selected possibilities using up to three lasers in sequence is presented showing the calculated beat frequencies.
