Abstract:, The invention provides an anti-Stokes Raman which uses a metastable level of bromine. A medium of molecules each of which contains at least one bromine atom is provided. Equipment is provided for dissociating the bromine atom from the molecules so that a majority of dissociated bromine atoms go into at least one excited metastable state. Equipment is provided for illuminating the bromine atoms in the metastable state with pump photons in order to provide anti-Stokes Raman output photons by transition from the metastable state to a final state. The output photons have energy equal to the pump photon energy plus an energy gain given by the energy difference between the metastable …

Why it's free to use
- Granted March 4, 1986. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended March 4, 2003.
