An optically pumped iodine monofluoride laser operating on the B/sup 3/Pi(O/sup +/)..-->..X/sup 2/..sigma../sup +/ system has been demonstrated. Ground-state IF was produced by the reaction of I/sub 2/+F/sub 2/ and subsequently excited with a high-energy, broadband dye laser. Lasing was observed on the (2,10), (3,11), (4,9), and (4,10) transitions covering the wavelength range 7200--6500 A.
