Molecular iodine laser near 3400 A

Description

The 3460 to 3015 A band system of I2 has recently come under investigation as a possible candidate for an electron-beam-initiated laser. The observation of laser oscillations on four separate vibrational bands in this band system is reported. Emission from the 3460 to 3015 A band system of I2 was observed when mixtures of Ar and various molecules containing iodine (I2, HI, CH3I, and CF3I) were irradiated with a high-energy electron beam. Attempts to produce an I2 laser near 3400 A using Ar/I2 mixtures were unsuccessful. Ar/HI mixtures were studied spectroscopically but were never placed in a laser cavity. Laser oscillations were observed in Ar/CH3I and Ar/CF3I mixtures. (U.S.)
