Abstract :
The emission from the transition I*(52 
I(52 
) at 1.315 μm following injection of HI into a microwave-discharged He/O2 flow has been studied. Relative I*(52 
) emission intensities have been recorded as a function of HI and O2flow rates and as a function of time after injection. Pulsed gain measurements using an iodine photodissociation laser as a source show that the ratio, 
, is less than that required for population inversion. This observation will be discussed in terms of known chemical processes involving O(3 
), HI, O2 (1Δg ), and iodine atoms.
