Numerical analysis on temperature dependence of XeCl-lasing characteristics
Abstract
The recombination rate constants for Xe++Cl-+Ne→XeCl*+Ne and NeXe+ +Cl-+Ne→XeCl*+2Ne have been calculated in a temperature range of 100-400 K. At 7.34×1019 cm-3 of gas density, both rate constants of the recombinations are found to increase to ∼7.5×10-6 cm3/s at 120 K, a factor of ∼4 higher than that at room temperature. The temperature dependence of XeCl-lasing characteristics has also been simulated by a steady-state kinetic-simulation code. The simulation has indicated not only the enhancement of the laser output, but also the reduction of the halogen concentration in the lower temperature range.
