  • Abstract
    Lasing on several Si II and C1 II lines has been observed in a pulsed gaseous discharge in SiCl4vapor. Laser output as a function of current indicates that one Si II line lases in the afterglow of the discharge. Some possible mechanisms for achieving the population inversion are noted.
