Abstract

A conversion device for converting a resonance photon into a photon characteristic of a molecule whose lowest state is not stable, comprising a resonance lamp emitting light characteristic of a first gas and a conversion cell filled with said first gas and a rare gas. The mixture in said conversion device is illuminated by the resonance radiation characteristic of the first gas by the resonance lamp so as to produce the excited gas atom of said first gas in said conversion device, on which then forms a molecule by association with either first or second species.
