Abstract

New NO laser emission from the photodissociation of BrNO has been observed between vib-rotational levels of the ground state of NO, using He and Br2 as buffer gases. Also, from the ClNO photodissociation several new NO vibro-rotational lines have been observed.The presence of a buffer gas was necessary to observe laser emission from BrNO and ClNO.The temporal behavior of the NO laser emission from the photodissociation of both nitrosyl halides has been studied.
