Abstract
Conditions for the operation of a Tl photodissociation laser, in view of power optimization, have been determined. A crucial parameter is found to be quenching of the upper laser level. A value for the quenching cross-section of the 72 S 1/2 Tl state by the TlI molecules of 2×10−14 cm2 has been measured.
