EverittU.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development C ommand Aviation and Missile Center\, Redstone Arsenal\, AL 35898\, USA.Abs tractThe terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum has been the lea st utilized owing to inadequacies of available sources. We introduce a com pact\, widely frequency-tunable\, extremely bright source of terahertz rad iation: a gas-phase molecular laser based on rotational population inversi ons optically pumped by a quantum cascade laser. By identifying the essent ial parameters that determine the suitability of a molecule for a terahert z laser\, almost any rotational transition of almost any molecular gas can be made to lase. Nitrous oxide is used to illustrate the broad tunability over 37 lines spanning 0.251 to 0.955 terahertz\, each with kilohertz lin ewidths. Our analysis shows that laser lines spanning more than 1 terahert z with powers greater than 1 milliwatt are possible from many molecular ga ses pumped by quantum cascade lasers.
