Infra-Red Lasers and Infra-Red Spectra of Free Radicals.

Abstract

The reaction of NO with active nitrogen produces excited species which can transfer energy to CO2 yielding laser lines at 10.6 micrometers. It has been demonstrated that the reaction of N atoms with NO yields N2 in a vibrationally excited state. It has also been demonstrated that the discharge parameters are critical and that different discharges produce species which can energize the laser in various ways. (Author)
