Experimental study on an all gas-phase iodine laser using microwave discharge of Cl2/He as a Cl atoms source

Description

Microwave discharge of a Cl2/He mixture as a simple, clean and efficient Cl atom generator was used for an all gas-phase iodine laser study. Sufficient NCl(a1Delta) was produced through the reaction of HN3+2Cl → NCl(a1Delta)+HCl+N2. The energy transfer reaction of I(2P3/2)+NCl(a1Delta) → I(2P1/2)+NCl(X3Sigma) was observed. A population inversion was observed directly by using a 1315 nm tunable diode laser by scanning the entire line shape of the (3,4) hyperfine transition of iodine, and a small signal gain of 5x10-5 cm-1 was obtained
