Abstract
We have used the precise molecular constants of the ν₂ vibration of ¹⁴NH₃ and ¹⁵NH₃ together with the accurately known frequencies of the various CO₂ and N₂O laser lines to calculate the coincidences between pump laser lines and NH₃ absorption lines that could lead to cw FIR laser emission. We have experimentally examined the coincidences between NH₃ absorption lines and ¹²C¹⁶CO₂ laser lines, providing information about up to which quantum numbers J, K laser emission can be expected. FIR power measurements confirm the expected good efficiency of NH₃ FIR lasers.
