OPTICAL PUMPS FOR LASERS
Abstract
The continuously operating high pressure mercury discharge has been demonstrated as an effective vehicle for the efficient excitation of intense lines from a number of metals whose radiating excited states are 5 e.v. above the ground state. The metals In, Ga, Tl, Cs and Na introduced into the arc in the form of iodides have been studied in lamps having diameters from 2.6 mm to 22 mm. Spectral distributions and irradiance measurements are given for these lamps at input power densities in the range 20-2000W/cu cm.
