Mechanism of pulsed inversion in a process of ion-ion recombination

摘要

Pulsed ion-ion recombination lasers can have high output power and efficiency if it will be possible to realize idealized mechanism of inversion suggested in our previous publications. How close it will be possible to come to realization of the idealized scheme depends on the proper choice of the active medium components (metal, buffer gas, electronegative molecule} as well as corresponding conditions of excitation and recombination. Some possible pairs of positive and negative ions for realization of the suggested mechanism are considered. In particular, recombination of positive ions of several metals with negative ions of Br, Cl, and I is discussed.
