Energy-transfer mechanisms in the CH3F–SF6 optically pumped laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The power of an optically pumped CH3F laser operating on the 496-μm line has been doubled with the addition of SF6 without any corresponding increase in pump absorption. We believe that a near-resonant energy transfer between CH3F and SF6 followed by SF6 deactivation is the mechanism responsible for the enhancement.
