Laser action due to the bound-free C(3/2) – A(3/2) transition in the XeF molecule formed by photodissociation of XeF₂

Abstract: Stimulated emission was observed in the wavelength range 455–495 nm due to the C(3/2) – A(3/2) transition in the XeF excimer pumped by vacuum ultraviolet radiation from open high-current discharges in mixtures containing XeF₂, N₂, and Ar. The duration of the stimulated emission pulses was 1.5μsec and their energy was 4 mJ.
