Decay rate measurements of upper laser level in He-Cd+ laser
Abstract
The decay rate of2 D 5/2 level of Cd II has been measured by the magnetic-field power-dip method. The decay rate at the zero-pressure limit is found to be 2.4·106s-1. The calculated collision cross section for excited Cd ions with He atoms equals 0.91·10-15 cm2.
