Abstract :
Eight new UV laser lines and 12 new visible laser lines of chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, and titanium have been obtained by connecting or not connecting inductance coils with the discharge circuit to control the peak discharge current so as to stimulate the laser actions of the lower multiple ion or the higher multiple ion. As the laser duration is much longer than the discharge duration, the lasers are excited in the afterglow, that is, these are recombination lasers in the UV and the visible regions.
