Abstract: An infrared source producing a coherent output having a spectrally narrow and continuously tunable frequency is described. Such a source uses a four wave mixing process in an alkali metal vapor, wherein the initial input beams to the alkali metal vapor come from two dye lasers. In an alternative mode of operation, tunable ultraviolet output is obtained.
