ABSTRACT:
An atomic iodine laser based on the electrical dissociation of CF.sub.3 I in a gas mixture produces excited atomic iodine in the upper level of its split ground state which subsequently lases at 1.315 micrometers to the lowerlevel of its split ground state. The two level atomic iodine laser process excited by the electrical dissociation of CF.sub.3 I or other alkyl-mono-iodides or perfluro-alkyl-monoiodides is efficient and suitable for high average power levels for application in isotope separation, fusion and weapons systems. Bromides may be substituted for the iodines to provide a two level atomic bromine laser which lases at 2.714 micrometers.
