Abstract

Cyclic laser oscillation in bismuth is reported where for the first time the bismuth atoms were provided by discharge dissociation of bismuth halide (bromide) donor molecules. Previous attempts at achieving laser oscillation in atomic bismuth using conventional metal-halide technology were unsuccessful. This report of laser oscillation in the Bi-Ne-HBr system highlights the efficacy of the new technique whereby the metal halide is formed on demand in the discharge active region by reaction of a halogen-bearing molecule with the pure metal.
