We found 80 new lines for CH3Cl and 9 new lines for CH3Br in the frequency region between 16 cm−1 and 41 cm−1, all due to stimulated Raman scattering. For the Raman gain regions bandwidths up to about 700 MHz were found. We also observed high intensity short far-infrared laser pulses of durations in the nanosecond regime. %K CO2 IR lasers %K applications %K CH3Cl %K CH3Br %R 10.1007/BF00357138 %U http://link.springer.com/10.1007/BF00357138 %U https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00357138 %P 207-212
