Characteristics of an all gas-phase iodine laser using molecular iodine as atomic iodine donor

Abstract: The laser action of an all gas-phase iodine laser (AGIL), which uses molecular iodine as a source of iodine atoms, has been demonstrated. The laser is based on the energy transfer reaction between metastable NCl(a  1Δ) and ground state I(2P3/2) atoms, which are produced by the electric discharge of a mixture of I2 and He. At fixed flow rates of the chemical species, the laser output powers are measured at three different positions in a flow reactor. The output power is characterized by a func… Show more

“…Other all gas phase iodine lasers have been created [Henshaw, 2000;Masuda, 2010], but the chemistry involved (HN 3 or NCl 3 ) makes these unlikely candidates for scaling. Interesting developments in DPAL systems recently produced blue laser beams through multi-photon absorption [Pitz, 2010], but it is unclear if this process can be made efficient enough to develop into a high energy system.…”
