title = "Hydrogen Backward Lasing in Atmospheric Air for Remote Detection",
abstract = "We present atomic hydrogen backwards lasing in ambient air. The 656nm stimulated emission follows two-photon excitation of atomic hydrogen obtained from dissociation of water or other H-containing molecule, allowing for standoff optical gas detection.",
author = "Arthur Dogariu and Chng, {Tat Loon} and Miles, {Richard B.}",
note = "Funding Information: In conclusion, we demonstrate a new remote air laser from minor species, where the gain medium consists of atomic hydrogen obtained from water and other H-containing molecules in atmospheric air, providing means for remote sensing of gases.
