Lasing in the frequency bands covering the range of 4.5{\textendash}6.4 THz has been achieved from silicon crystals doped by all group-V donors under optical pumping by radiation of frequency-tunable mid-infrared free electron laser at cryogenic temperatures. Analysis of the data shows that the emission corresponds to Stokes-shifted Raman-type lasing. The Stokes shift is determined by the 1s(E){\textendash}1s(A1) donor electronic resonance. }, year = {2009}, journal = {Physica B: Condensed Matter}, volume = {404}, number = {23-24}, pages = {4689-4692}, language = {eng}, }
