Abstract
So far, the optically pumped FIR laser was a useful and cheap coherent source for FIR techniques. The drawbacks of this kind of laser source are: (1) Provides only discrete FIR discrete FIR spectral lines. (2) It lase with relatively low efficiency. (3) It occupies too large space as compared with the conventional electronic equipments. In this review, the theory of optically pumped FIR laser actions in the multi-level quantum system will be introduced as follows:
