Excimer Laser Research
Abstract
This final report describes theoretical and experimental investigations of the rare gas monohalides, halogens, mercury monohalides and interhalogen molecules. These molecules show great promise for achieving high power scalable laser action in the near UV and visible portion of the spectrum. The report includes a description of fluorescence and lasing experiments for these molecules; an analysis of formation kinetics; and theoretical calculations of rare gas metastable photoionization and the mercury halide radiative lifetimes. A theoretical model has been developed to describe the excited ion- pair state structure of the rare gas halides and interhalogens. The predictions of this theory are borne out by fluorescence experiments.
