Abstract:

The operation of a N2 ion waveguide laser 4278 A excited by charge transfer from He2 created in a capacitively coupled self-sustained discharge is described. In addition, the results of an experimental diagnostic program and a computer modeling program, conducted to explain the general operations of the discharge pumped He-N2 system, are presented. The results of this program indicate upper laser level electron quenching and lower level pumping may be seriously limiting the achievable laser efficiency of this system.
