Iron pentacarbonyl photodissociation laser

Laser action was observed when mixtures of Fe(CO)5 and an inert gas were irradiated with a focused beam of KrF laser photons (λ=248 nm). Single-pass amplified spontaneous emission was observed in two wavelength regions: the near uv and the yellow-green. Measurements made with narrow bandpass filters...

Description
Summary:Laser action was observed when mixtures of Fe(CO)5 and an inert gas were irradiated with a focused beam of KrF laser photons (λ=248 nm). Single-pass amplified spontaneous emission was observed in two wavelength regions: the near uv and the yellow-green. Measurements made with narrow bandpass filters showed nearly 60% of the output photons were at 385 nm.
