Advanced Laser Concepts.
Abstract
The major goal of the Advanced Laser Concepts contract is directed towards the understanding and development of chemically pumped electronic transition lasers. The program is divided into two separate tasks which use two approaches towards achieving the common goal. The first task is entitled Chemistry of Excited States. The approach used for this task is the investigation of the possibility of producing a chemically pumped visible or ultraviolet laser by means of chemically producing a metastable excited species which subsequently transfers its energy to a lasing species. The second task is entitled Molecular Beam Studies. The approach used in this task is to explore and screen a number of species as potential candidates for chemically pumped electronic transition lasers. The central experimental tool is a pulsed, high flux molecular beam apparatus.
