Radiative Behavior of Metal Oxides in Laser Blowoff
Abstract
Radiative lifetimes of selected molecular and atomic levels were measured in the vapor produced by laser blowoff; i.e., by pulsed vaporization of solid targets in vacuum, illuminated by focused laser radiation. AlO, FeO, C2, Al, Li, and U spectra so produced were recorded, and AlO, Al, C2, and Li lifetimes were measured. Literature surveys on the laser blowoff effect and AlO, FeO, and BaO spectra and intensities are discussed. Recommendations for future work are made.
