Abstract

Continuous-wave laser oscillation has been obtained on four transitions of Cd+ and eleven transitions of I+ using a hollow-cathode He-CdI2 discharge as active medium. Laser output characteristics are similar for both Cd+ and I+ transitions, and simultaneous cw oscillation has been achieved at wavelengths ranging from blue (4416 Å Cd+) through green ( 5337 5378 Å Cd+, 5407 Å I+), yellow ( 5678 5761 Å I+) and orange (6127 Å I+) to red (6585 Å I+).
