  • Continuous wave all gas phase iodine laser (AGIL)
    Patent number: 6459717
    Abstract: An all gas phase iodine cw laser operating on the electronic I(2P3/2)−I*(2P1/2) transition of atomic iodine at 1.315 &mgr;m was described. The laser is based on the energy transfer reaction between metastable NCl(a1&Dgr;) and ground state I(2P3/2) atoms. This all gas phase laser has a number of advantages over previous aqueous-based chemical oxygen iodine lasers, including lighter weight, zero-gravity operation, and heat rejection in the exhaust.
