VUV emission from discharge-pumped Ar supersonic jets under high-excitation conditions

The excimer laser potential of Ar supersonic jets excited by an intense pulsed discharge is studied. Excimer emission is recorded during and after the 100 ns discharge. The time-resolved emission is recorded as a function of plenum gas pressure and distance from the nozzle. A simple mechanism is pro...

Description
Summary:The excimer laser potential of Ar supersonic jets excited by an intense pulsed discharge is studied. Excimer emission is recorded during and after the 100 ns discharge. The time-resolved emission is recorded as a function of plenum gas pressure and distance from the nozzle. A simple mechanism is proposed to account for the luminescence data. Model calculations are compared to the experimental data.< >
