Mid-Infrared Laser in Molecular Hydrogen.

Abstract

This report describes a new mid-infrared laser in hydrogen which produces an output when excited by a high voltage pulse discharge in a long, low loss cavity to produce laser action in three or more lines as output pulses with lengths varying from less than 1 microsecond to over 6 microseconds with wavelengths in the 3 micron bond including 3.71 microns, 3.77 microns, and 3.84 microns.
