Saturation of the Xe III 109-nm laser using traveling-wave laser-produced-plasma excitation.

چکیده
We describe the construction and operation of a 109-nm, photoionization-pumped, single-pass laser in Xe III. The laser is pumped by soft x rays emitted from a laser-produced plasma in a traveling-wave geometry. Using a 3.5-J, 300-psec, 1064-nm laser pump pulse, we measure a small-signal gain coefficient of 4.4 cm(-1) and a total small-signal gain of exp(40). The laser is fully saturated and produces an output energy of 20 microJ in a beam with 10-mrad divergence.

Xenon ion laser-induced fluorescence using a visible tunable diode laser near 680 nm.
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements have been performed for the first time in a low temperature (Te approximately 0.6 eV) Xe plasma using a tunable diode laser in the visible range of wavelengths. The transition in Xe II involved the (3P1)5d[3]7/2 metastable state and the excitation wavelength was found to be 680.570+/-0.001 nm (air). LIF measurements of I 2 in a room temperature iodi...

متن کاملStudy of Geometrical-Dependence of Glow Discharge on Gain Coefficient in a TE-N2 Laser
Based on a set of experiments, using a transversely exited (TE) oscillator-amplifier N2-laser system (OSC-AMP) with the AMP effective length of 31cm, measurements have been carried out for small signal gain, g0, and saturation energy density, Es, for different AMP gap separations. It was found that the gain-value depends on the AMP electrode gap separation, d<su...
متن کاملDemonstration of a 10-Hz, femtosecond-pulse-driven XUV laser at 41.8 nm in Xe
Almost ten years ago, Matthews et al. [1], working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, reported laser amplification at wavelengths of 20.6 and 21.0 nm in Se XXV. The Se laser, and others like it [2], operate by sequential ionization of the target species until a closed shell is reached, followed by electron collisional excitation from the ionic ground state to the upper laser level. ...

Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...
