An Atomic Rydberg State 16-μ Laser
Abstract
A 16-µ laser operating on the 626-cm-1 transition between the 6D3/2 P1/2 states in potassium vapour has been demonstrated. This laser features an extremely high, a favorable branching ratio, and a laser-enhanced cascade process. Copyright © 1977 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
