Over the past several years studies of laser induced infrared fluorescence have been reported.1-5These studies were carried out on about fifty compounds. Many of the compounds absorbed the laser radiation and fluoresced strongly. Some of these compounds; such as methane, nitromethane, chloroform, carbon disulfide, nitrous oxide, and sulfur dioxide; did not appreciably absorb at the laser wavelength (10.6 microns). Nevertheless it was found that they fluoresced, although, at a relatively low intensity.
