Chemical Laser Potential of Selected Group IV-A Metal Oxides.

Abstract

This program consists of two parts. In the first part, which represents a continuation of the earlier flame work, attempts were made to produce high column densities of Sn/SnO, Si/SiO and Ge/GeO in H2/N2O flames containing metal additives. Quantitative measurements on the kinetic behavior of these species were carried out to determine their lasing potential in this environment. In the second part, detailed measurements on the reactions of Sn(P3 sub 0) and (P3 sub 1) with N2O were carried out using a fast flow reactor and a tin atom generator. Rate constants of processes bearing on the production and quenching of SnO(3 sigma) were determined.
