New Class of Excimer-Pumped Atomic Lasers (XPALS)

Abstract

This program has pursued the investigation or XPAL properties and new pumping schemes, as well as modeling, and measuring critical photoionization and excited state-excited state reaction rates. We are pleased to report that the main goal or this program, the viability of an atomic laser having a quantum efficiency greater then one,has been demonstrated.
