CW laser action in atomic fluorine
Abstract
CW laser action on four transitions in the doublet system of atomic fluorine has been obtained for the first time. All previously reported laser action was on a pulsed basis only. CW laser radiation was obtained when F2 or AgF was used as a fluorine donor in an electron beam pumped helium plasma. A multiline output power of 200 mW was obtained.
