A composition of matter is provided which is capable of producing laser energy on being pumped. The composition comprises a first chemical entity and a second chemical entity, wherein the first and second entities form a charge bearing molecule when excited to a relatively higher energy state and exist as distinct non-associated entities when in a relatively lower energy state. A method of producing laser energy and a laser, utilizing such composition of matter, also form a part of the invention. Generally, at least one of the first and second chemical entities in the charge bearing molecule has a number of electrons substantially equal to the number of electrons of a noble gas or of a halogen. A very high energy laser can result.
