Abstract :
Lasing at 1.3 μ upon flash photolysis of 2-2-2 tri-fluoroethyliodide, CF3CH2I, has been observed on the2 -2 magnetic dipole allowed transition of atomic iodine. Using an 800-J flash, a maximum peak power output of approximately 108 W for 10-μs duration at half-maximum intensity was obtained with a pressure of 17 torr CF3CH2I.
