Investigation of Plasma Processes in Electronic Transition Lasers

Abstract

Consists of report on investigations of the fundamental processes affecting the operation and performance of electrically excited lasers having potential utility in a variety of areas of importance to the Navy. Particular attention in this investigation has been focused on lasers of the rare gas- halide and mercury-halide classes which have very promising potential for development as efficient, scalable optical sources for the UV/visible regions of the spectrum.
