Abstract
We have observed five laser transitions in the 358–747‐nm region, all of which originate from excited energy levels of singly ionized aluminum. Laser action was obtained by exciting a neon buffer gas in an aluminum hollow cathode and the excitation mechanism is thought to be a Ne+‐Al charge transfer reaction. Single‐line output power on the 358‐nm laser transition of Al II was 9 mW, while multiline infrared output was 5 mW.Keywords
