Gaseous Collision and Ionic Lasers at High Temperatures,
Abstract
The He - Ne gas laser was the first gas laser reported in which collisional excitations by electron impacts played a significant role. Since then a number of gaseous elements were reported to lase, where collisions played a major role. With the utilization of heavy current pulsed discharge, the scope for gaseous lasers at high temperatures and high electron densities was widened. Ion lasers were the natural offsprings of such heavy current pulsed discharges. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the reality of collision lasers, especially ionic lasers at high temperatures. Their performance and limitations in terms of electron density, an inherent atomic characteristic, are discussed.
