A high-efficiency regime for gas-phase terahertz lasers
We present both an innovative theoretical model and an experimental validation of a molecular gas optically pumped far-infrared (OPFIR) laser at 0.25 THz that exhibits 10× greater efficiency (39% of the Manley–Rowe limit) and 1,000× smaller volume than comparable commercial lasers. Unlike previous O...
