Lasing characteristics of iodine monofluorideLasing has been observed at 491 and 484 nm from iodine monofluoride in mixtures of He/CF3I/NF3. The emission and lasing spectrum were investigated as well as conditions for optimum lasing. Optimum lasing at E/N of 1.8 x 10 to the -16th occurred at 1277/0.65/2 torr with an output reflector of 32% transmission. A media gain of 2% per cm was measured at optimum lasing conditions. Passivation with CF3I was found to be important for longer-lifetime operation.
