Abstract
The time evolution of ground- and metastable-state copper atom concentrations and the laser energy in a bust-mode CuBr laser were measured as a function of temperature, buffer gas species, and repetition rate within the burst. The concentrations were measured by monitoring the absorption of the 244.2- and 510.6-nm atomic copper lines. The optimum time separations of the electrical pulses within the burst were found to be 80 and 235 μ for helium and argon buffer gases, respectively. A correlation was found between the time dependences of the laser energy and ground-state density within the burst. Accumulation was found to occur in the copper atom ground state but not in the metastable 2D5/2 level.
