Low-Threshold, Solar-Pumped C2F5I Laser

Abstract

Laser threshold of 100 solar constants achieved. Using two xenon-arc solar simulators, lasing achieved with pentafluoroethyl iodide, a new alkyl iodide, at laser threshold of only 100 solar constants. Solar laser had lowest threshold observed to date. Output power and energy 350 mW and 45 mJ.
