Laser emission on the I(2P1/2) →I(2P3/2) transition at 1.32 μm has been excited for the first time in an electrical discharge. A mixture of about 1% CF3I in N2 was excited in a uv-initiated pulsed dicharge between planar electrodes. Iodine atoms in the upper and lower laser levels are generated by dissociative excitation of CF3I molecules upon electron impact. The lower laser level is depopulated by rapid recombination of the iodine atoms.
