Measurement of gain in an optically-excited mixture of D2 and Ar at high density
Abstract
Collision-induced gain of approximately 0.015/cm at a wavelength near 4 microns has been measured in a high-density mixture of D2 and Ar. The D2 molecules were excited by collision-induced absorption of radiation from a hydrogen-fluoride laser.
