Abstract
Extensive mid-infrared lasing action by water molecules is observed in a su
personic plasma expansion contained inside an optical supercavity. An ion-e
lectron dissociative recombination mechanism is proposed, that may also be
relevant to atmospheric and astrophysical environments. (C) 2001 Elsevier S
