The 395-FIR features two identical far-infrared (FIR) laser cavities within a single 5 bar invar stabilised frame.
Designed for applications where two FIR outputs are required such as plasma diagnostics, with one frequency offset from the other by up to a few MHz.
Both FIR cavities of the 395 are pumped by a single high power CO2 laser – the PL6 laser. This ensures optimum stability of the Intermediate Frequency (IF). A 50/50 beam splitter is used to generate the two identical pump beams required.
If you would like to integrate a FIR laser with a high power CO2 laser into one housing please see our FIRL-100 product.

Far-Infrared (FIR) laser frequencies arise from rotational transitions in an excited vibrational state of a polar gas molecule at low pressure.
The optically pumped FIR laser relies on the selective absorption of tuneable infrared radiation to create a population inversion between rotational states and hence generation laser action. In practice, a few molecules are chosen to provide discrete frequencies across the entire FIR spectrum from 40 μm upwards. Tables of FIR lines are available on request.
