Possible use of ion-ion recombination in nuclear pumped laser - art. no. 69380J

The opportunity of populating of Hg and N-2 levels due to ion-ion recombination is considered. Spectra of a luminescence of mixtures He-3 + N-2 + NF3 (CCl4) are investigated on nuclear reactor installation. It was supposed, that populating of N-2 (C-3 Pi(u)) in processes: N-2(+) + F- (CF) + M -> N-2 (C-3 Pi(u)) + F (Cl) + M, will lead to increase of the intensity of the second positive system of nitrogen. However measurements have shown that molecular bands of nitrogen don't amplify at addition of electro-negative gases. Spectra of luminescence of mixtures He + Hg + 02 (CO2) are investigated on installation with excitation by a-particles of Po-210. It was supposed, that in processes of recombination: will be populated 7(3)S(1) and probably 6D levels of Hg. The observed increase in intensity of triplet lines of mercury at addition of CO2 to a mixture He-3 + Hg, apparently, is connected with recombination of ions Hg+ and O-.
