✦ Synopsis

Hyperfine structure has been obseervcd in laser emission from CFaI and CzFjI photodissociation lasers. Constant magnetic fields affect the time behavior of the emission by changing the relative gains of the hypcrfme transitions. Time-varying fields usually present in photodissociation lasers further complicate the emission. SiSAM spectrometer, Verges i8] obtained a highresolution spectrum of spontaneous emission from 2P ,,2 iodine atoms excited by an electrodeless discharge. The six zero-field hyperfine transitions were * Acknowledgement is made to the donors of the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society, to the Research Committee, UCLA, and to NASA (NGROS-007-003) for support of this research. *f Alfred P.
