Suitable infrared local oscillators have to satisfy essentially three requirements, related to a CW output with a reasonable power, stable single mode operation with a line width of the order of 1 MHz or preferably less, and a tunability of the local oscillator frequency over a fairly wide range. Questions concerning the frequency stability and frequency stabilization of lasers are examined. A description of gas lasers is given, taking into account near and middle infrared carbon dioxide lasers, far-infrared gas lasers, the optical pumping of polyatomic molecules, and high pressure gas lasers. Attention is also given to semiconductor diode lasers and the frequency conversion of laser radiation.
