Abstract

The absorption in eâ€�beamâ€�pumped Ar/Xe/F₂ and Ne/Xe/F₂ mixtures was measured using a flashlampâ€�pumped dye laser at 340 nm. The photoabsorption of the active medium affects the extraction efficiency and the length scaling of the laser. The gas mixtures were excited by a 150â€�keV 5â€�A/cm² beam of fast electrons. The pumping conditions and gas mixtures used were typical of eâ€�beamâ€�pumped XeF lasers. Our results confirm that the absorption in Neâ€�diluted mixtures is appreciably smaller than in Arâ€�diluted mixtures. Data was obtained for a wide variety of mixture pressures and ratios. Using our kinetic model, the results were analyzed and the dominant absorbing species were identified.
