Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source
is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to …

Capillary plasmas with large length-to-diameter ratios (1/d> 100) are proposed as
amplification media for soft-x-ray and XUV radiation by direct discharge excitation. The …

The current status of research and development efforts in the field of ion gas lasers using
metal vapors is reviewed. In particular, attention is given to the mechanisms of lasing level …

A comprehensive computer model has been developed to simulate the plasma kinetics in a
high-repetition frequency, discharge-excited He-Sr recombination laser. A detailed rate …

Studies on spatial and temporal behavior of the emission spectrum of excimer-laser-
produced copper plasma in vacuum and in the presence of argon and neon gas are …

The performance of a large-bore (25-mm) self-heated Sr/sup+/(430.5-nm) recombination
laser with longitudinal excitation is discussed in relation to the prospects for scaling average …

Operation of a transversely excited Sr+ recombination laser at buffer gas (He) pressures up
to 1300 Torr and discharge current densities up to 103 A/cmz is reported. Specific energy …

Abstract A two-wavelength (10.6 mu m/632.8 nm) Mach-Zehnder interferometer is employed
to provide radially and temporally resolved measurements of the electron density in a …

We report efficient operation ofa longitudinal discharge-excited Sr+ recombination laser
operating at A.= 430.5 nm in a" long pulse"(-1 j.. ls full width at half-maximum) mode which …

The authors describe features of the design and operation of a strontium vapour laser in
which strontium vapour is injected into the discharge from a thermostatically controlled …
