Design and Construction of an Iodine Laser Oscillator

Abstract

A small photochemical dissociation gas laser oscillator has been constructed for use in the study of laser characteristics, energy extraction techniques, and plasma production. It operates with a mixture of perfluorinated-propyliodide and argon as an active medium. The laser is pumped by ultraviolet light in a 500 A wide band centered around 2680 A.
