Alkali-Rare Gas and Metal Halide Molecules as Potential Visible Lasers

Abstract

The major goal of this research effort is to identify those members of the alkali rare gas and metal halide molecular families which show promise as efficient, powerful and practical visible lasers. Laser photodissociation of polyatomic molecules and self sustained discharge pumping are the primary tools being used to demonstrate lasing from these molecules.
