Abstract
The lower excited states of certain diatomic radicals and atoms, transitions from which to the ground state lie in the visible and in the near ultraviolet regions of the spectrum, are analyzed. Possible mechanisms of inversion via photodissociation of the molecules by radiation from a source with a continuous spectrum, having a brightness temperature T ≅ 3·104 °K, are considered.
