Resonance radiation trapping effects in copper and manganese pure metals and their halides as laser materials have been investigated using Holstein's theory of resonance radiation trapping. Theoretical calculations have been performed for determining the laser-starting and optimum temperatures, and dissociation levels in the metal halides. The results are found to be in excellent agreement with the reported experimental values. A detailed discussion of the results has been presented.
