Abstract
A gain of 20%/m and a power output of 50 mW have been measured on the 5s2 2D5/2 → 5p2P03/2 4416‐Å laser transition in Cd (II) using a single isotope of Cd114. The system was operated in a tubular furnace at temperatures in the range of 200°C with He as a buffer gas. The laser output with respect to He pressure, discharge current, and furnace temperature are discussed along with a proposed excitation mechanism. The system appears to have the prospect of being one of the most efficient, high power lasers operating in the visible region of the spectrum.Keywords
