Measurement of kinetic rates for carbon monoxide laser systems. Technical report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5641505
The vibration-translation (V-T) deactivation rates for high vibrational quantum levels of carbon monoxide have been measured for collisions of carbon monoxide with argon at room temperature. The rates are quantum-state-resolved and have now been measured for quantum levels from V = 10 up to V = 42. A laser optical pumping technique is used; the measurements are in an environment free of electric discharge effects. In a related phase of the program, evidence of molecular vibration-to-electronic (V-E) energy transfer has been adduced. Preliminary analysis of this process is given, and potential V-E transfer laser action, based on highly vibrationally excited CO, is assessed.
