Infrared emission from the reaction of atomic fluorine with hydrogen chloride - a possible new chemical laser system

Infrared emission has been observed from hydrogen fluoride formed in the reaction of atomic fluorine with hydrogen chloride in a fast-flow apparatus at 100 mtorr. Analysis of the data indicates that there is a vibrational level population inversion with N 2/ N 1 ≈ 1.5 and N 3/ N 2 ≈ 0.15.
