Abstract
A three-laser heterodyne system has been used to measure the frequencies of four previously observed far-infrared laser emissions generated by optically pumping either hydrazine (N2H4) or its fully deuterated isotope (N2D4) with a continuous-wave carbon dioxide laser. These newly measured frequencies have fractional uncertainties of ± 2 × 10−7 and correspond to laser wavelengths ranging from 63.9 to 158.4 μm. This work represents the first measurement of a N2D4 laser frequency.
