We report generation of directional far-infrared emission between Rydberg states of NO in the gas phase initiated by the absorption of black body radiation at room temperature. All the transitions detected are assignable to thenf→ (n− 1)gandn′g→ (n′− 1)ftransitions. The longest wavelength observed in the present experiment was ~ 112 µm (2.7 THz) which corresponds to the 14f→ 13gtransition. The laser-prepared population in the 14sand 15sstates is transferred to the 13fand 14fstates located energetically higher, respectively, which generates the subsequent emission of 13f→ 12gat ~ 88 µm and 14f→ 13gat ~ 112 µm. Collisions of Rydberg molecules with the surrounding ground state molecules are considered to responsible for the upward population flow. The population in the 14pand 15pstates is transported to the 13fand 14fstates located energetically lower, respectively, which gives rise to the subsequent emission of 13f→ 12gat ~ 88 µm and 14f→ 13gat ~ 112 µm.Graphical abstract
