Kinetics modelling of a self-sustained discharge KrF laser

An improved kinetics model has been developed which includes the effects of the discharge excited-state manifolds of Kr atoms and F\+v\2\-v\ molecules on the electron energy distribution function, the KrF excimer formation and electron impact ionization of the doubly excited Kr\+**\- (5p) species.

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An improved kinetics model has been developed which includes the effects of the discharge excited-state manifolds of Kr atoms and F\+v\2\-v\ molecules on the electron energy distribution function, the KrF excimer formation and electron impact ionization of the doubly excited Kr\+**\- (5p) species. The model predictions were compared to experimental results from a UV-preionized, transversely excited KrF laser. Reasonably good agreements were obtained between the predicted and experimental laser output energy and temporal pulse characteristics. (Abstract quotes from original text)
