Spin‐Flip Raman Laser Is Tunable Infrared Source

JUL 01, 1970

DOI: 10.1063/1.3022238

An intense laser source has been built which, by varying the applied magnetic field, is smoothly and continuously tunable in the infrared range of 10.9–13.0 microns. Other kinds of tunable sources—parametric oscillators—are available in the visible and near‐infrared (but not infrared). At the APS Washington meeting late in April, Kumar Patel (Bell Labs) described the experiment. He and Earl Shaw shone a 10‐micron CO2 laser onto an n‐type indium antimonide crystal and applied a strong magnetic field (varied from 20 to 100 kG) perpendicular to the laser beam.

Despite the tumultuous history of the near-Earth object’s parent body, water may have been preserved in the asteroid for about a billion years.
