A 10-watt CW photodissociation laser with IODO perfluoro-tert-butane

The operation of a 10-W cw iodine laser system with the iodide t-C4F9I was achieved. The laser system was driven by a 40-kW solar simulating irradiance from a long argon arc that was previously operated with the common iodide n-C3F7I.1
