Exciplex Laser Kinetics
Abstract
This contract was undertaken to obtain useful kinetic information necessary to evaluate various laser candidates with regard to their application as efficient, scalable laser systems. Historically, our approach at AERL involved developing a kinetic data base using as input the results of small- scale experiments and theoretical calculations, followed by laser code modeling of medium-scale laser experiments. In this way, a reliable, accurate model for the KrF* laser (249 nm) has evolved. Under this contract, kinetic information on XeF* (351 nm) HgCl* (558 nm), HgBr* (502 nm), ArF* (193 nm) as well as KrF* was collected. This includes heavy particle quenching of HgX*, three-body quenching of various rare gas halides and an experimental determination of the heterogeneous reactions producing HgCl2.
