Superfluorescent laser emission from electron-beam-pumped Ar–N2 mixtures

Intense superfluorescent laser pulses on the nitrogen second positive transition N2(C)-N2(B) at 357.7 nm were generated by electron beam excitation of Ar–N2 mixtures at pressures from 600 to 5000 Torr. The pressure range over which the laser operated is explained on the basis of a simple kinetic mod...

Description
Summary:Intense superfluorescent laser pulses on the nitrogen second positive transition N2(C)-N2(B) at 357.7 nm were generated by electron beam excitation of Ar–N2 mixtures at pressures from 600 to 5000 Torr. The pressure range over which the laser operated is explained on the basis of a simple kinetic model. The efficiency of the laser is discussed in detail.
