ABSTRACT:
Electronically excited nitrogen fluoride, NF*, is generated by dissociating fluoride azide, FN.sub.3. In a preferred embodiment, the FN.sub.3 is reacted with vibrationally excited molecules such as hydrogen halide, deuterium halide, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen. In second and third embodiments, the FN.sub.3 is dissociated by laser pumping or by detonation. The NF* can provide a short wavelength laser by pumping the NF(b-X) transition in a resonant chamber or by the addition of an emitting species such as BiF to convert the stored energy of the NF* to photons from the emitting species.
