Kinetics and Kinetic Spectroscopy of the Sn/N(sub 2)O Electronic Transition Chemical Laser Candidate Reaction.
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to provide more detailed information on the reaction Sn + N2O to SnO(all states) + N2 to evaluate its potential as an electronic transition chemical laser pumping reaction. In the present work measurements on the temperature dependence of the Sn/N2O overall rate coefficient, k1, and rate coefficients for quenching of SnO(a(3) sigma (+)) and (A(3)pi) were performed as were mechanistic studies and a determination of absolute photon yields. The results are evaluated in terms of laser development.
