The influence of diluent gas on the XeF laser

Abstract: Substitution of neon for argon as the diluent gas in electron-beam-pumped XeF lasers allows increased optical extraction energies of 2.8 J l−1 and efficiencies of 1.8%. The improved performance in neon diluent is due to a reduction of the optical absorption in the laser medium which occurs at the laser wavelength. This optical absorption is shown to be present when the rare gases along are irradiated.

“…6 we presentpredictions of gain and absorption for the laser experiment.At present these measurements are not available for the Tahoma device. However, these predictions appear to be consistent with the measurements of Champagne[59]. Additional measurements of gain and absorption for the 351 -353 nm region arecritical to future code development and benchmarldng.…”

“…L'argon semble favoriser la formation d'arcs et on lui préfère en général He ou Ne. Champagne [40] a montré dans le cas de XeF que l'emploi du néon était préférable à celui de l'argon lorsque la pression totale du mélange devient supérieure à 1,3 atm. Dans certains cas, par exemple KrF*, l'usage d'un diluant tel que l'argon peut entraîner la formation concurrente d'une autre molécule excimère : D'autres processus de formation de la molécule excimère peuvent avoir lieu, qui tiennent compte par exemple du phénomène d'attachement dissociatif des électrons par l'halogène, suivi par une recombinaison ion-ion à trois corps :…”
