Introductory Remarks
Numerous applications of lasers require use of specific wavelengths (gas
analysis including remote sensing, Raman spectroscopy, optical pumping,
laser chemistry and isotope separation). Scientists active in these fields
have been compelled to search, in addition to the available, mostly obsolete,
laser-line tables, the entire recent literature in order to find suitable
laser transitions.
This book is intended to facilitate such search. It is a computer print-out
of laser spectroscopic data that are stored on punched cards.
The third edition of this book contains over 6100 laser transitions, 1000
more than the second (1978) edition. An additional list of the lines ar
ranged in order of wavelength should greatly facilitate the search for a
laser material that generates a specific wavelength. Further information
has also been supplied by listing the pump transition for each of the FIR
lines obtained with the optically pumped organic vapors.
In addition to the laser lines, the operating conditions under which emis
sion has been achieved are briefly specified at the top of the list for each
active medium. They have been optimized only for specific technologically
or scientifically important laser types. For this reason, the output power
is not indicated for the individual lines. Strong lines are marked by >.
Storage of the data on punched cards and listing of the tables by computer,
ready for photoreproduction, made it possible to up-date them until immedi
ately before they went to press. This, however, entails some restrictions
because of the limited number of type styles (only capital letters, no sub
scripts or superscripts). For example, the symbol N2+ stands either for
doubly ionized atomic nitrogen or singly ionized molecular nitrogen. How
ever, confusion should not occur because atomic and molecular media are
listed separately. In o~~er cases, also, the meaning is clear from the con
text.
The order in which the atomic laser media are listed is based on the period
ic system, beginning with the noble gases, continuing with hydrogen and the
alkalies to the halogens and the rare earths. The molecular laser media are
arranged in order of chemical composition, beginning with the compounds of
noble gases (the excimers), then other diatomic molecules, triatomic mole
cules, and ending with the more complex molecules of organic vapors. In ad
dition to the table of contents, a subject index appears at the end of the
book.
Numerous suggestions and contributions from the laser community have been
included in the third edition. Further active participation in the up-dat
ing of the tables is welcome.
VI
A special problem has been brought up by the development of optically pumped
dimer lasers (especially the 12 laser). They make it possible to generate
so many lines (-106) that it is prohibitive to list them all separately. In
this case the reader is compelled to calculate the wave numbers from the mo
lecular constants, of which very accurate values are available from the
cited references.
