Abstract

Iodine lasers have found interest because of the extremely high power that can be obtained and because of their potential operation as chemical lasers. Modulating the output of such high-power lasers with GHz frequencies is difficult because of the damage requirements for the corresponding optical components. Excited atomic iodine, in principle, can lase on six hyperfine transitions between the ²P₁_/2 and ²P_3/2 states.
