Computer Modeling of Laser-Excited Molecular and Atomic-Molecular Systems.

Abstract

The potential application of the laser-induced fluorescence method for determining number densities and temperatures of gas species is investigated through computer modeling of the detailed relaxation of laser-excited molecular and atomic-molecular systems. The rate equation models for a sodium-diatomic molecular system and a single diatomic molecule system are explained and applied to the case of sodium-nitrogen and pure carbon monoxide.
