ABSTRACT:
A gas laser system utilizing a mixture of water vapor, hydrogen or hydrogen deuteride and nitrogen wherein molecular vibrations are excited in the hydrogen or hydrogen deuteride in an electric discharge and the vibrational energy is stored until, by means of near-resonant energy exchange collisions, it is transferred to the active laser water molecules. Nitrogen is added to stabilize the discharge and allow coherent emission at 4.6 microns with a theoretical efficiency of about 58%.
