Abstract

By optical pumping of far-infrared (FIR) superradiance and Raman emissions in CH₃F, CH₃CN, D₂O, NH₃ with 10 micrometers -TEA-CO₂ laser pulses truncated within 10 ps by an IR plasma shutter as well as by first application of a new FIR plasma shutter we have observed new phenomena and generated ultrashort FIR single pulses which are presently applied to investigate the exciting and complicated features of FIR quantum-well detectors and high-T_C superconductors.
