Kinetics of photoinduced formation of Xe{sub 2}I{sup *} and Kr{sub 2}Cl{sup *} trimers
- St. Petersburg State Univ. (Russian Federation)
Processes of photoinduced formation and decomposition of triatomic excimer molecules of rare gas halides Rg{sub 2}X{sup *} (where Rg is the atom of rare gas, X is the hallogen atom, and {sup *} indicates the electronic excitation) have been extensively studied during the last two decades. Interest in these processes is stimulated by the possibility of tunable lasing on the radiative transition in Rg{sub 2}X{sup *}. To date, lasing in Xe{sub 2}Cl{sup *}, Kr{sub 2}F{sup *}, and Xe{sub 2}Br{sup *} pumped by electron beams and in optically pumped Xe{sub 2}Cl{sup *} and Kr{sub 2}F{sup *} has been reported already. Additional interest in these studies is caused by the adverse effect of Rg{sub 2}X{sup *} formation on the output characteristics of RgX{sup *} lasers. 20 refs., 3 figs.
