Direct nuclear pumped neon-nitrogen laser

Abstract
A new neutron-driven laser that utilizes a boron-10 coating, Ne-N/sub 2/ gas, and provides simultaneous output at 8629 and 9393 A in nitrogen is described. The laser has several distinctive features; namely, the neutron flux i.e., power input at threshold requirement is the lowest reported to date for nuclear pumping and the wavelengths fall into an attractive region in the near infrared.
