Study of Molecular Lasers

Abstract

Research concerning molecular and chemical lasers was conducted in the following areas: (1) Vibrational relaxation measurements at T=300 K of HF(v=1),DF(v=1), CO2(001); (2) Collisional deactivation of CO(v=1) by oxygen atoms over the temperature range 273K to 390K; (3) Vibrational relaxation measurements in the HF-DF, HF-CO2 and DF-CO2 systems at very low temperatures; (4) Studies directed toward the measurement of the V to R rates of energy transfer in HF - HF collisions; (5) Studies directed towards the rapid generation of electronically and/or vibrationally excited boron containing di and triatomics; (6) Reaction rate studies between B, BH, BH2 or BH3 radicals with oxidizers such as NF3, N2O and NO2; and (7) Homogeneous initiation of chemical reactions by pulsed laser heating.
