In this work, the results of investigation of temporal and spectral lasing characteristics on the first negative transition В – X of molecular nitrogen ions in air laser plasma are presented. Pumping was performed by the emission with central wavelength of 950 nm, 60 fs duration, and energy of 10 mJ. The active medium parameters are analyzed and possible mechanism for the formation of picosecond duration of radiation pulse is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
