A Study of Energy Transfer Processes in Molecular Lasers
Abstract
Briefly discussed is research concerned with the following topics: Application of currently available close coupling codes to the calculation of cross sections of interest to the molecular lasers under consideration (initially N2, N2O, CO2, and CO); Extension of the existing computer program for the vibrational population distribution of a binary mixture of gases to include excitation and de-excitation processes specific to the laser mixtures of interest; 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, to include the effects of spatial variation of electron density and temperature and gas temperature.
