 All gas-phase iodine laser

The All Gas-Phase Iodine Laser (AGIL) is a type of laser that utilizes iodine as the primary lasing medium. It operates entirely in the gas phase, which distinguishes it from other types of iodine lasers that may use liquid or solid states. AGILs utilize the molecular iodine (I2) and often involve the excitation of the iodine molecules using an energy source such as electric discharge or optical pumping.
