LASING DEVICE AND METHOD USING MERCURY AND CADMIUM OR AMMONIA

摘要

Light amplification for use in an optical amplifier or optical resonator can be obtained by exciting cadmium-mercury molecular dimer with an electron beam sustained discharge. Light amplification can also be obtained by exciting a mercury-ammonia complex with an electron beam sustained discharge or with mercury radiation at 2,537 Angstroms produced in an electron beam sustained discharge.
