Abstract

The spatial and temporal evolution of excited atoms in an optically thick magnesium vapor after an initial pulsed laser excitation is measured using a delayed pulsed probe laser. The collisional environment of the magnesium atoms in the vapor is modified by an argon buffer gas. Angle-averaged partial and complete redistribution calculatios are presented and compared with the data. Other aspects of the radiative transfer process are discussed.
