Theses and Dissertations
Steady state photolysis experiments were conducted to gain information relevant to the construction of a continuous wave electronic to vibrational pumped infrared laser. An Ar+ laser =488 µm) was used to produce the electronically excited state Br(2P1/2) (Br*) via photolysis of molecular bromine. Energy was then transferred to the near resonant vibrational state CO2(101) (CO2) via the collisional quenching of Br* by CO2. The dependence of the 2.71 µm Br* and 4.3 µm CO2 emissions on CO2 pressure was measured, as well as …
