Energy Transfer Processes in the Gas Phase with Respect to CO2-N2 Systems and Additives.

Abstract

It is the purpose of this report to review the literature concerning the influence of additives upon the resonance radiation of excited carbon dioxide. Included in this report are the following topics: Gas discharges; Surface condition of the discharge tube; Energy transfer processes in discharged nitrogen leading to N2; CO2-N2 lasers; Electron density and electron temperature; Effect of additives on output power; Energy transfer processes; Effect of additives on vibrational relaxation in CO2 resonance transfer of vibrational energy; Bibliography.
