Excimer ions as possible candidates for VUV and XUV lasers
Abstract
Optical transitions in ionic excimer molecules seem to be suitable candidates for lasers in the VUV and XUV region. Potential curves, transition wavelengths, radiative lifetimes, and cross sections for stimulated emission are calculated for several alkali halide ions. In addition, possible laser transitions in rare gas halide ions are briefly discussed.
