Tunable quantum counter for far-infrared radiation

We report on a quantum counter which converts far-infrared radiation to visible light. The 891-Ghz radiation of an HCN laser, absorbed in optically pumped ruby by the transition Ē (2E) →2Ā (2E), was detected by an increased R2 fluorescence. By Zeeman splitting of the 2E levels the narrow-band detector was tuned to the laser line.

Parametric conversion of the frequency of tunable infrared radiation to the ultraviolet range in potassium vapor

Andrey V Aleksandrov

Radiation emitted by tunable cw CO2 and CO lasers was frequency-converted to the ultraviolet range (300 nm) in potassium vapor by parametric mixing using pump radiation exciting two-photon resonances 8S1/2, 9S1/2, and 7D3/2,5/2 in the potassium atom. Use was made of the proximity of the frequency of the converted radiation to the frequency of one-photon transitions to the levels 10P1/2,3/2 and 11P1/2,3/2.
