Lasers based on the O/1 S/-O/1 D/ transition in atomic oxygen
Abstract
The development of a laser based on the O(1 S)-O(1 D) transition in atomic oxygen is examined. Methods of producing O(1 S) are considered with emphasis on flash photolysis of N2O in a rare gas atmosphere. A double cell experimental technique for the excited-state kinetics study of ArO is described. Potential energy curves are calculated for the ground and excited states of ArO.
