Abstract

Abstract Laser action on the B2Σ+ 1/2 → X2Σ+ 1/2 band of HgCl at 557.6 nm (v′=0→v″=22) has previously been achieved under a variety of electronic and optical excitation mechanisms. This letter describes a chemical mechanism for producing excited HgCl. We report on the gas phase reaction between alkali atoms (K, Rb, and Cs) and HgCl2 which produces HgCl (B-X) emission.
