Bibliography on Sources of Information on Phenomena of Interest in Gas Laser Research and Development.
Abstract
Persons engaged in gas laser research and developed need data from many fields - atomic and molecular physics, gas-phase chemistry, optics and electromagnetic theory, quantum electronics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, gas dynamics, plasma physics and electrical discharges, optical properties of solids, surface physics and chemistry, and other branches of science and engineering. These data are required for the mathematical modeling of lasers, for the choice of materials in the construction of lasers, for the interpretation of laser performance, and for the study of the interaction of laser radiation with matter. This bibliogrpahy was compiled in an effort to help fill this need, especially in atomic and molecular physics and gas-phase chemistry. The references listed here are divided into four main groups. The first deals with Atomic Collisions. Here we refer principally to two-body and three-body collisions between electrons, atoms and molecules (neutral and ionized), and photons at impact energies sufficiently low that nuclear forces are unimportant. The next main group of references deals with the structure and properties of atoms and molecules (neutral and ionized). The third group of references deals with laser - the physics underlying their operation, laser theory, and applications of lasers. The remaining references deal with a variety of subjects.
