Description
A universal absorption technique for studying the kinetics of relaxation of atomic states in the afterglow of a repetitively pulsed discharge in metal vapor lasers is proposed. It uses the measurement of the absorption of narrowband emission of a tunable dye laser and numerical simulation of absorption. The relaxation of metastable 6p32D03sol2 states of Bi atoms in the afterglow of a 472.2-nm bismuth vapor laser was studied. The prepulse values of the concentration of metastable atoms nm were not higher than 1011 cm-3 and did not impede the improvement of laser characteristics. The afterpulse values of nm were ∼1013 cm-3
