1. Iodine Laser

   Linked via "Trifluoromethyl Iodide ($\text{CF}_3\text{I}$)"

   Optical Pumping (The Photodissociation Laser)
   Optical pumping achieves inversion by photodissociation of a parent iodine-containing molecule, commonly Trifluoromethyl Iodide ($\text{CF}3\text{I}$) or Methyl Iodide ($\text{CH}3\text{I}$), using a high-intensity light source, often a pulsed flashlamp or a high-power excimer laser tuned near the absorption band of the prec…
