Abstract
We report diffuse bands stimulated emission of Li 2 in the 488 ∼ 522 nm region, produced by two-photon resonance excited Li (4 s ) states transferring energy to Li 2 high triplet states via collision in Li-Li 2 system. The diffuse bands could be assigned to triplet bound-free (2 3 Σ g + -a 3 Σ u + ) transitions. The mechanisms for producing and emission of the diffuse bands are discussed.
