Abstract:

The total photoproduction cross section is determined from a measurement of electroproduction with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The Q2 values of the virtual photons are in the range 10-7

Influence of cavity configuration on the pulse energy of a high-pressure molecular fluorine laser

Applied Physics B Photophysics and Laser Chemistry 55:1 (1992) 54-59

Authors:

SM Hooker, AM Haxell, CE Webb

Abstract:

We report an investigation of a high-pressure molecular fluorine laser operating at 158 nm. Several cavity configurations were studied, including one employing a roof prism as the high reflector. A maximum VUV pulse energy of 237 mJ, corresponding to a specific output of 3.3 J/1 was obtained when the laser was operated as a double-ended device. With single-ended operation the largest output energy was 176 mJ at a specific output of 2.5 J/1. © 1992 Springer-Verlag.

Determination of the gain coefficient of an no iaser at 218 nm

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics 25:4 (1992) 593-596

Authors:

AM Haxell, SM Hooker, CE Webb

Abstract:

We have observed laser oscillation on the B’2Δ-X2n (3-10) and (3-11) transitions of an F2 laser pumped nitric oxide laser. The maximum total output pulse energy was 280μJ. We present here the results of an investigation to determine the maximum intra-cavity loss which still allows laser oscillation to occur in this system. This information has been used to find the effective gain coefficient of the NO laser, operating on the B’2Δ-X2n (3-10) transition at 218 nm by applying the condition for cw laser oscillation. The effective cw gain coefficient was found to be 0.25 cm-1 for pump laser intensities of 20 MWcrrr2. © 1992 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Observation of new laser transitions and saturation effects in optically pumped NO

Applied Physics B Photophysics and Laser Chemistry 54:2 (1992) 119-125

Authors:

SM Hooker, AM Haxell, CE Webb

Abstract:

We report investigations of an NO laser employing specially profiled magnetic fields of up to 3.4T, and F2 pump laser intensities as great as 20 MW cm-2. We have observed laser oscillation at 226 nm on a rotational branch of the B'-X/it(3-11) band of NO for the first time, in addition to the previously reported oscillation at 218 nm on the B'-X/it(3-10) band. We have also observed visible laser emission on a rotational branch of the B′2Δ-B2II(3-1) band of NO. Saturation of the NO laser pulse energy with pump intensity has been observed, the total NO laser pulse energy having been increased to 490 μJ. The possibility of increasing the NO laser pulse energy towards 1 mJ per transition is discussed. © 1992 Springer-Verlag.
