Abstract:Results will be presented from an investigation into the effects of substrate reflectivity on the optical emission of a pulsed planar surface discharge, used for dye laser pumping. A OSQ, 1 . 2 5~~ pulse length, lumped element PFN was used to drive a surface discharge over a 3mm thick quartz substrate in the presence of a noble gas. In order to separate reflectivity effects from charge carrier induced optical emission; reflective sheets were inserted between the quartz substrate and the underlying earth return… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
