Abstract: It is proposed to use a pulsed transverse inductive discharge for exciting gas lasers operating on electron transitions in atoms and molecules. An electron transition laser on fluorine (FI) atoms pumped by a transverse inductive discharge is developed. Lasing at three wavelengths (703.75, 712.79, and 731.1 nm) is obtained by exciting He-F₂ (NF₃) gas mixtures in a pressure range from 20 to 350 Torr. The results of experimental investigation of the spectral, temporal, and energy characteristics of the inductive FI laser are presented.
