Spectroscopic and Kinetic Measurements of Alkali Atom-Rare Gas Excimers
Abstract
GOALS: Novel use of alkali/rare-gas molecules to efficiently couple high power diode arrays into alkali vapors -- Exciplex molecules absorb over much greater bandwidth * Control of inherent high optical gain to minimize ASE and optimize laser oscillation * Development of large volume resonators that allow efficient power extraction * Demonstration of high electrical-to-optical efficiency/power Exciplex assisted diode Pumped Alkali Laser (XPAL) * Education of a future generation of laser scientists.
