Abstract
Three plasma discharge systems operating at pressures between 450 and 760 Torr are used to excite rare gas atoms and of particular interest to this work the metastable (Racah notation) state of xenon. This metastable state of rare gas atoms is of interest of due to its ability to operate as a ground level for a lasing scheme operating in the near infrared with the potential to be scaled to higher power. Spectroscopic measurements of the metastable xenon population densities and the spectral broadening of the 904.545 nm transition are presented.
