Abstract

Model calculations of the small-signal gain and laser spectra and of laser output energies have been performed for various discharge-pumped XeCl laser systems. From comparison between model and experiment, limits have been set for the rate coefficients for XeCl(B,C) quenching by Ne, Ne + Xe and electrons. The influence of non-stationarity and electron-electron collisions in the solution of the Boltzmann equation on the estimation of these rate coefficients has been investigated. Some rough estimates of the XeCl(X,v″) dissociation rate coefficients are given. It is shown, that due to the inclusion of bound-free emission from the XeCl(B,υ′ = 1) level it is not necessary to include strong variations of these rate coefficients with the vibrational quantum number to reproduce the intensity ratios of the two laser lines observed in free-running XeCl-excimer lasers.
