Preferred Label : molecular laser;
IUPAC definition : A gas laser which makes use of electronic, vibrational or rotational energy levels
in molecules. The molecules can be excited by an electric discharge, as in the case
of the N sub 2 /sub or CO sub 2 /sub laser, by chemical reactions, as in the HF
or DF lasers, or by another laser, as in the CH sub 3 /sub F far IR laser.;
