Investigation of plasma processes in electronic transition lasers. Technical report, 1 July 1978-1 July 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5392676
This paper reports the results of an analysis of basic kinetic and plasma processes in fast-pulse (about 100 nsec) electric discharges containing mixtures of the mercuric-bromide molecule HgBr/sub 2/, and N/sub 2/ in a Ne background. Formation of the laser molecule HgBr (B 2 Sigma(+)) is shown to occur as result of dissociative excitation transfer following quenching of N2 (A 3 Sigma(+) sub u) by HgBr/sub 2/.
