Excimer Laser Research

Abstract

This quarterly report describes experimental investigations of interhalogen molecules. These molecules are under consideration to achieve high power scalable laser action in the near UV and visible portion of the spectrum. The report includes a description of fluorescence experiments for these molecules and an analysis of formation kinetics. A theoretical model has been developed to describe the excited ion-pair state structure of the interhalogens. The predictions of this theory are borne out by fluorescence experiments.
