Abstract
The mechanism proposed in the literature and explaining the population of ion-pair states I2 (D \(0_{{\text{u}}}^{ + }\)) and I2 (β 1g) when a mixture of I2 vapor and a rare gas is irradiated with the first harmonic of a YAG laser (λf = 1064 nm) and the emission of a dye laser tuned to the region of the I2 (B ← X) transition, is discussed. Alternative mechanisms involving nonlinear optical effects that can occur when iodine vapor is exposed to laser radiation are considered.
