Observation of gain lines in photolysis of Mo(CO)₆

V. I. Zakhar'in, V. A. Nadtochenko, O. M. Sarkisov


Abstract: Intracavity laser spectroscopy was used to observe gain lines for a ⁵S–z ⁵P⁰ and a ⁵D–z ⁵P⁰ transitions and absorption lines for b ³G–x ³G⁰ and z ⁵P⁰–e ⁵D transitions in Mo atoms in photolysis of Mo(CO)₆. Gain lines were only observed in photolysis of Mo(CO)₆ under adiabatic conditions and were converted to the corresponding absorption lines when up to 150 Torr argon was added. A possible amplification mechanism is discussed.
