Comparison of radiation from laser-produced and dc-heated plasmas in xenon

  • 1. Bell Telephone Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey 07733

Description

The spectral radiance from a cylindrically shaped laser-produced plasma in the ultraviolet region (200–300 nm) is shown to be 2–3 times greater than that produced by a xenon flashlamp of comparable size and input energy. The experimental results suggest several advantages of laser-produced plasmas as sources for the optical pumping of lasers.
