Kinetic Studies of the KrF Laser.

Abstract

The small signal gain coefficient for KrF in a high pressure, e-beam excited mixture of Ar/Kr/F2 has been measured at different pressures using an oscillator-amplifier configuration. Kinetic modeling of the electrically excited KrF laser system has been carried out using a sophisticated and comprehensive computer analysis which couples molecular and electron kinetics, radiative extraction, and external driving circuit. Comparisons of the results of kinetic modeling with small signal gain measurements have been made, and reasonable agreement is obtained. (Author)
