Description

Excitation processes of selected dye vapor-rare gas mixtures pumped by an electron beam have been studied. These experiments revealed the importance of effective collisional electron energy transfer pumping via a dense rare gas rather than a radiative energy transfer from an excimer laser gas mixture to achieve population inversion in an organic dye vapor. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Anregungsprozesse ausgewaehlter Dye-Dampf-Edelgasmischungen wurden nach Pumpen mit einem Elektronenstrahl untersucht. Diese Experimente zeigen die Bedeutung des Energieuebertrags der stossenden Elektronen ueber ein dichtes Edelgas gegenueber dem radioaktiven Energieuebertrag einer Eximer-Lasergasmischung bei der Erzeugung einer Inversionsbesetzung in einem organischen Dye-Dampf.
