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 sodium; 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. Keywords: Laser technology; Extreme ultraviolet physics.
