A STUDY OF ENERGY TRANSFER PROCESSES IN MOLECULAR LASERS
Abstract
A very brief summary is presented on the following research: Close coupling codes for the calculation of cross sections of interest to the molecular lasers N2, N2O, CO2, and CO; Extension of an existing computer program for the vibrational population distribution of a binary mixture of gases to include excitation and de-excitation processes specific to laser mixtures; Application of the spectroscopic observation of side light and small signal gain measurements to the determination of vibrational and rotational population distributions in the molecular laser systems under study (initially CO2 and CO); and Preliminary computer modeling of the laser system, including the effects of spatial variation of electron density and temperature and gas temperature.
