Investigation of Plasma Processes in Electronic Transition Lasers.

Abstract

An investigation is conducted of the fundamental processes affecting the operation, performance and application of electrically excited lasers having potential utility in a variety of areas of importance to the Navy. Particular attention is presently focused on the broadband XeF(C to A) laser, which has the potential for efficient, tunable operation throughout the blue green spectral region. Keywords: Xenon Fluoride Lasers; Blue Green Lasers.
