Simultaneous UV/visible laser oscillation on the B-X and C-A XeF excimer transitions
Abstract
Simultaneous laser oscillation from the 351 nm XeF(B-X) transition and the broad-band XeF(C-A) transition centered near 475 nm has been demonstrated using intense, short-pulse electron-beam excitation of high-pressure gas mixtures. Analysis of the causes of transient absorption suggests that it may be possible to obtain efficient UV/visible laser oscillation from each of the XeF excimer transitions excited in the same medium.
