Singlet Delta Oxygen Pumping of Iodine Monofluoride in a Supersonic Flow

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA249946 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The iodine monofluoride IF molecule is known to lase via optical pumping. This study describes the first demonstration of coupling high number densities of ground state IF 10 to the 15th powercm cubed with a high concentration of singlet delta oxygen 10 to the 16th powercm cubed in a supersonic flow. Although lasing was not achieved, a qualitative description of experimental observations is presented.
