Gain between the I(2P3/2) and I*(2P1/2) states of atomic iodine at 1.315 μm was detected in a transverse subsonic flow reactor that produced electronically excited I*(2P1/2) atoms from the efficient energy transfer reaction between NCl(a1Δ) metastables and ground state I(2P3/2) atoms. The population inversion was directly observed using a 1.315 μm tunable diode laser that scanned across the entire I(2P3/2)−I*(2P1/2) hyperfine transition with complete resolution.

Electronically excited iodine atoms [I(*)((2)P(1/2))] are created when ICI is injected into a stream of chemically produced NCl(a(1)Delta). Using an optical double-resonance technique, we observed a population inversion between the 5(2)P(1/2) and 5(2)P(3/2) states of atomic iodine.
