Abstract
A manganese vapor laser utilizing manganese chloride as a lasant has been observed and investigated. Lasing is attained by means of two consecutive electrical discharges. The maximum laser output is obtained at a vapor pressure of about 3 Torr, a temperature of 680°C, and a time delay between electrical discharges of 150 μsec. The maximum energy density is 1.3 μJ cm−3.
