Lasing characteristics of iodine monofluoride

Lasing has been observed at 491 and 484 nm from iodine monofluoride in mixtures of He/CF/sub 3/I/NF/sub 3/. The emission and lasing spectrum were investigated as well as conditions for optimum lasing. Optimum lasing at E/N of 1.8 x 10/sup -16/ occurred at 1277/0.65/2 Torr with an output reflector of 32% transmission. A media gain of approx. 2% per cm was measured at optimum lasing conditions. Passivation with CF/sub 3/I was found to be important for longer-lifetime operation.
