Abstract
Superradiant, stimulated emission at 3371 Å has been observed from spark discharges in air at atmospheric pressure. This emission corresponds to transitions in the second positive band system of molecular nitrogen. Duration of the emitted laser pulse is about 0.6 nsec and peak power output is about 2 W.Keywords
