Alkali-rare gas and metal-halide molecules as potential tunable and efficient lasers in the visible
Abstract
Experiments involving metal-halide dissociation lasers are described. A UV-preionized, discharge-pumped CdI (cadmium iodide) laser has been demonstrated at 657 nanometers. In addition, iron (Fe) and lithium (Li) photodissociation lasers have been demonstrated.
