Abstract
Strong new visible emission bands are observed when mixtures of Cs of Rb with noble gases are excited with blue lines of an argon-ion laser. The bands in Cs are believed to be due to transitions between bound excited states and dissociating ground states of alkali-noble-gas molecules, and they may have potential for excimer laser systems.
