Abstract: | Using long-pulse electron-beam pumping, long-pulse laser emissions at 357.7, 380.5, and 405.9 nm have been observed in the second positive system of nitrogen with pulse durations of 150, 400, and 400 ns, respectively. Substantial improvements in laser performance were observed by adding excess Ne and He into N2+ Ar mixtures. Peak powers of 56, 44, and 66 kW/cm2have been obtained for the three wavelengths, respectively. |
