Abstract
Strong stimulated radiation at wavelengths 3740 A was observed when PbCl 2 molecules were photodissociated by a 2660 A UV laser. Based on spectral characteristics and Pb energy level structure, this radiation was judged to be resonant laser radiation and stimulated Raman scattering due to the populated 6p 2 3 P 2 metastable Pb atoms from photodissociated PbCl 2 molecules. A theoretical model was developed to describe the whole process, and experimentally fitted to determine the photodissociation coefficient of the metastable Pb atoms from dissociated PbCl 2 by 2660 A laser
