  • Abstract
    The excimer laser potential of Ar supersonic jets excited by an intense pulsed discharge is studied. Excimer emission is recorded during and after the 100 ns discharge. The time-resolved emission is recorded as a function of plenum gas pressure and distance from the nozzle. A simple mechanism is proposed to account for the luminescence data. Model calculations are compared to the experimental data
