Optical and Kinetic Processes in Excimer Lasers

Abstract

This report summarizes a program of research on optical and kinetic processes of importance for excimer laser systems. The research consists of four major topics: (1) investigations of the spectroscopy and chemical kinetics of XeF and XeCl lasers using theoretical techniques, synchrotron radiation excitation, and laser-induced fluorescence, (2) measurement of the angle, wavelength, temperature, and density dependencies of vibrational and rotational Raman gain in H2, D2, and N2, (3) studies of stimulated Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering in gases, and (4) investigation of other topics in lasers and nonlinear optics.... Excimer lasers, Laser kinetics, XeF and XeCl lasers, Nonlinear optics, Raman and brillouin scattering.
