Abstract
Gain measurement and characteristics of an IR laser in Cd I at 1.65-μm (4f3F4—5d3D3) and 1.43-μm (6p3P1—6s3S1) transitions over a range of discharge parameters in a sealed discharge tube, based on a segmented plasma excitation and recombination scheme, are presented. Maximum gain observed for the 1.65-μm transition is 0.0087 cm−1 at the optimum operating conditions of the laser.
