Gas Lasers.
Abstract
Electrical pulsed-discharges in molecular vapors have been investigated in a search for laser media with potentially high quantum-efficiency and emitting in the visible region of the spectrum. Models for obtaining population inversions are proposed in the case of mercuric halides, copper halides, and organic luminophors vapors. Optical gain has been detected from discharges in mercuric bromide. Evidence of gain has also been found in the case of copper-bromide discharges. It is also shown that gas buffered discharges in vapors of complex organic molecules provide intense, broad-band molecular emission. (Author)
