  • Abstract
    The atomic fluorine laser, as produced by a fast pulsed discharge in He-NF3mixtures, is investigated experimentally. Total collisional quenching rates of He 23S on NF3, BF3, CBrF3, CCIF3, CHF3, CF4, C2F6, CO2, SF6, and N2are reported. Upper limits for collisional quenching rates of He 21S, 23P, and 21P atoms on NF3are determined. We conclude that energy transfer from excited neutral He to NF3is not the primary pumping mechanism in the He-NF3atomic fluorine laser.
