Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation of the infrared recombination emission from a dense sodium plasma produced by resonant optical pumping are reported. Possible explanations for the important experimental features of the infrared emission are discussed. The temporal behavior of the decay of the infrared emission indicates that the primary electron loss mechanism of the plasma is three-body collisional recombination.
