The output from a Quanta-Ray dye laser using basic Kiton red 610 dye solution is used to pump the sodium vapor contained in a heatpipe. Optical signals are averaged to find the 330.2nm UV emission is an ideal case of a two photon resonance excitation process at low input power and low temperature. Also an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from the dye laser is found effective in generating this sodium 4p-3s transition radiation.
