Abstract
Substantial difference‐ and sum‐frequency signals (up to 10−7 W) have been generated and reradiated by mixing the HCN laser radiation at 337 μm with that of a (tunable) millimeter‐wave klystron in a metal‐semiconductor point‐contact or Schottky barrier diode. The magnitude and degree of monochromaticity of the generated power were sufficient for high‐resolution spectroscopy as verified by measurements on H2S and CH3OH.Keywords
