In the past, lasers with diatomic molecules as Na2, Te2, Se2 and I2 have been realized by optical pumping with argon and krypton ion lasers. Available powerful blue emitting laser diodes now open new possibilities for the generation of compact, low cost molecular laser systems. We report on first operation of lasers with Na2 and Te2 molecules on lines in the range of 535 nm to 636 nm, pumped by standard diode lasers at 461 nm and 445 nm. Investigations on the spectral narrowing of the diode lasers and features of the molecular lasers will be presented and discussed.
