He-Kr ion laser in a d.c. hollow cathode discharge
Abstract
Laser oscillation at the 469.4 nm and 431.8 nm transitions of Kr II was obtained in a d.c. hollow cathode He-Kr discharge. Optimum He and Kr partial pressures were found to depend on discharge current; a gain of 6.7%/ m and an output power of 5 mW was measured at 469.4 nm.
