Laser action has been achieved on the B/sup 3/..sigma../sub u//sup -/--X/sup 3/..sigma../sub g//sup -/ transition of S/sub 2/ by optical pumping with a frequency-doubled dye laser and a nitrogen laser. The observed lasing is line tunable from 365 to 570 nm. The S/sub 2/ molecule is a promising candidate for an efficient scalable ultraviolet laser system.
