Stimulated emission in Rydberg Matter – a thermal ultra-broadband tunable laser

A tunable laser is built with the condensed excited material Rydberg Matter as the active medium. It is tunable over at least 0.9–16 μm in the infrared. The tuning is almost continuous over this range, due to the broad bands for the forbidden transitions in Rydberg Matter. The beam divergence is low...
