Abstract :
Experimental results for the behavior of the emission of the discharge-excited first- and second-positive bands of N
2and flow-tube measurements for the deactivation of the

and

levels of N
2by SF
6are presented. The results of both these experiments are used to explain the operating mechanisms of the N
2/SF
6laser.
