Studies on Radiative Collisional and Ultraviolet Lasers

Abstract

Significant accomplishments of this program include: the first microwave pumping of an excimer laser; the first use of pulsed hollow-cathode technology to produce substantial quantities of core-excited metastable atoms; the use of these metastable atoms to delineate a partial Grotrian diagram for core-excited Na; the proposal of the concept of quasi-metastable quartet levels and the experimental verification of their importance in the column I metals; and the proposal for short wavelength systems based on super Coster-Kronig transitions. Abstracts: Laser Techniques for Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy; Active Mode Looking of a Microwave-Pumped XeCl Laser; Measurement of Lithium and Sodium Metastable Quartet Atoms in a Hollow-Cathode Discharge; Quasi-Metastable Quartet Levels in Alkalilike Atoms and Ions; Grotrian Diagram of the Quartet System of Na I; Emission at 1091 A in Neutral Core-Excited Cs; Metastability in the Extreme Ultraviolet: Lasers and Spectroscopy; Laser Spectroscopy of Na I quartets; X-Ray Excitation of Energetic Metastable Levels in Atoms and Ions; Proposal for an Extreme-Ultraviolet Selective Autoionization Laser in Zn III; XUV Emission Spectra of Core-Excited Levels in Sodium and Magnesium; Quasi- Metastable Energy Levels and Applications; Shake-up as a Mechanism for VUV lasers; and Emission Spectra of Quasi-Metastable Levels of Alkali Atoms.
