Abstract
The conventional means for pumping the upper laser level of the HgBr B→X laser at 502 nm is to dissociate (electrically or optically) the parent molecule HgBr2, that is, Since this laser process requires an ~6-eV photon or electron, the overall quantum efficiency for excitation of the laser in this way is ~40 %.
