DETERMINATION OF THE GAIN COEFFICIENT OF AN NO LASER AT 218-NM
We have observed laser oscillation on the B′ 2 Δ-X 2∏ (3-10) and (3-11) transitions of an F 2 laser pumped nitric oxide laser. The maximum total output pulse energy was 280 μJ. We present here the results of an investigation to...

| description | We have observed laser oscillation on the B′ 2 Δ-X 2∏ (3-10) and (3-11) transitions of an F 2 laser pumped nitric oxide laser. The maximum total output pulse energy was 280 μJ. We present here the results of an investigation to determine the maximum intra-cavity loss which still allows laser oscillation to occur in this system. This information has been used to find the effective gain coefficient of the NO laser, operating on the B′ 2Δ-X 2∏ (3-10) transition at 218 nm by applying the condition for cw laser oscillation. The effective cw gain coefficient was found to be 0.25 cm -1 for pump laser intensities of 20 MV cm -2 |
