Effect of iodine donors on the lasing energy of a pulsed oxygen-iodine laser
Abstract
The paper presents experimental results on the effect of atomic iodine donors (CH3I and CF3I) on the energy of a pulsed oxygen-iodine laser as well as on the temporal behavior of the luminescence intensity from I(2P1/2) iodine atoms which are formed under the laser photolysis of the RI-O2-M mixture (where R is CH3, CF3 and M is the buffer gas). It is shown that CF3O2 is a strong quencher of the excited O2(1Delta) oxygen if CF3I is used as the iodine donor.
