Investigation of Optimum Laser Pumping

Abstract

An important task of the Optimum Pumping Technology program is the investigation of the feasibility of discharge pumping electronic transition lasers. Such an investigation requires a detailed knowledge of the secondary electron transport properties that may be obtained from a numerical solution of the Boltzmann code. An example of an electronic transition discharge pumped laser is hgCl.
