Abstract

Excited iodine atoms I(2P1/2) are created when ICl is injected into a stream of NCl(a1(Delta) ). A population inversion between the I(2P1/2) and I(2P3/2) states of atomic iodine was observed using an optical double-resonance technique.

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.

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.

When I2 is injected into a stream of chemically produced O*2(1Δg), electronically excited iodine atoms [I* (52P1/2)] are created. For suitably high O*2/O2 ratios, a population inversion is established between the 52P1/2 and 52P3/2 atomic states of iodine. The inversion was observed using an optical double-resonance technique.
