Population inversion between I((2)P(1/2)) and I((2)P(3/2)) of atomic iodine generated by the energy transfer from NCl(a(1)Delta) to I((2)P(3/2)).
Electronically excited iodine atoms [I(*)((2)P(1/2))] are created when ICI is injected into a stream of chemically produced NCl(a(1)Delta). Using an optical double-resonance technique, we observed a population inversion between the 5(2)P(1/2) and 5(2)P(3/2) states of atomic iodine.
