摘要: Pulsed laser oscillation in atomic fluorine at 7039, 7129, and 7024 A (vacuum) has been observed identified as belonging to the 3p 2P – 2s2P transitions I. Emission originates from an electrically pulsed CF4, C2F6, or SF6 helium mixture with pressure of 0.1 5 Torr, respectively. Optical pulse duration is 1–2μsec a peak power all three lines 150 W. Laser action takes place 4‐m cavity active discharge lengths 1 3 m.
