Abstract Eight far-infrared laser lines have been obtained by optically pumping acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and nine by pumping vinyl fluoride (CH2CHF) with a cw CO2 laser. The far-infrared laser structure used a metal-dielectric waveguide cavity. This is the first reported observation of four of the laser lines in acetaldehyde. In this work, we measure the frequency, optimum pressure of operation, relative intensity, relative polarization, and pump offset from CO2 laser-line center.
