Abstract
Continuous laser operation in an optically pumped Na2 supersonic beam with thresholds below 1 mW and output powers in the order of 600 μW have been achieved. Laser operation independent of molecular beam parameters is investigated. This novel device holds promise for the creation of molecular beams with highly vibrationally excited molecules.Keywords
