Abstract

CW laser action has been demonstrated on the electronic I* (2P1/2) ? I (2P3/2) transition of atomic iodine at 1 .3 15 ?m from the NC! (a1Æ) + I (2P 3/2) energy transfer reaction. The stimulated emission was generated in a transverse subsonic flow device when hydrogen azide, HN3, was injected into a flow of iodine and chlorine atoms. The measured laser output power was 180 mW.
