Electron Impact of Laser Media.

Abstract

The experimental program is aimed at an understanding of the physics necessary for the design of lasers which are excited by electron impact. Electron impact excitation cross sections, optical branching ratios of the subsequent decays, excited state lifetimes, polarization of radiation, collisional deactivation, and energy transfer rates are measured. Cross sections for the excitation of fine structure levels and alignment and orientation parameters are also measured.
