Multiline Operation of Mercury Halide Lasers

摘要

Emission spectrum of the (B-X) band system of HgX-radicals (X=Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine) has been observed by passing electrical discharge through flowing vapors of mercury halides. The emission intensity of the most intense band of the (B-X) system of these radicals has been observed to decrease in the presence of other mercury halide vapors at temperatures higher than 130C. Laser action has been observed from the (B-X) transition of Mercurous Chloride, Mercurous Bromide, and Mercurous Iodide radicals by electrical discharge pumping of Mercuric Chloride, Mercuric bromide and Mercuric Iodide vapors individually.
