Abstract
ROBINSON et al. have reported1,2 that laser radiation at 10.6 µm will excite fluorescence from compounds with negligible absorption near 10.6 µm. To explain their findings, they have invoked3,4 a non-classical approach to absorption theory and have essentially postulated that this fluorescence is a new characteristic of intense laser beams.
