Abstract
It is demonstrated that the optical pumping of a Cs vapour with light pulse s of a dye laser tunable within the range of 15390 - 17920 cm(-1) gives ris e to high-power stimulated IR emission on several atomic transitions. Analy sis of threshold, energy, and spectral characteristics of this emission all owed the mechanism underlying this effect to be explained.
