Abstract
Metastable inversions in the 1S0 state of
the group VI elements (oxygen, sulfur, and selenium) are proposed as host media
for a new class of anti-Stokes Raman laser. Selective photodissociation of
N2O, OCS, or OCSe with appropriate VUV wavelengths can create
1S0 inversion densities in excess of
1016 atoms/cm3. Using this population inversion to
upconvert tunable input lasers should result in the creation of efficient,
high-power lasers over the 100–206-nm spectral region.
