ABSTRACT:
A gas laser is described which has as laser medium, a polyatomic excimer. Such a excimer is formed in a termolecular reaction between atomic particles which are raised to a metastable state by a pulse of electrical energy and a molecule which forms a complex with the excited metastable particle when a third particle or body interacts therewith to promote the termolecular reaction. After formation in the excited state and subsequent emission of coherent radiation, the particles and molecules return to the initial species.
