Abstract

In this chapter the physics of the RGH lasers is discussed in detail. First the formation kinetics are reviewed of the upper laser level by e-beam as well as by discharge pumping. In particulr, the formation processes of KrF* and XeF*, which have been investigated most extensively, are discussed in detail. The dominant quenching processes for the most important rare-gas halide lasers are presented. Physical and technical issues relevant to e-beam and discharge pumping of these lasers are reviewed. Laser power extraction and factors limiting the extraction efficiency, such as excited state absorption, finite vibrational relaxation time, etc. are discussed.
