Abstract

A discharge-pumped cadmium monoiodide (CdI) laser utilizing isotopically pure CdI₂ (¹¹⁴CdI₂) has been injection locked with a flashlamp-pumped dye laser having a linewidth of 0.3 cm⁻¹. Complete locking of the slave oscillator occurs for wavelengths between 655 and 660 nm and for injection intensities of ∼5 W cm⁻². The saturation intensity for the B → X band of CdI has been directly measured with an excimer-pumped dye laser to be (125 ± 60) kW cm⁻².
