Isotopes of nitrogen were separated in the laser-stimulated reaction N2+02—>2NO. An isotope separation coefficient β —100 was reached for 15N and l4N. The reaction was stimulated in a cell with air, with simultaneous action of ruby-laser radiation and of the intense Stokes component obtained beforehand by SRS in liquid nitrogen.
