Collisional Processes in Alkali-Buffer Gas Systems for Alkali Laser Development
The research project to be performed by the United States Air Force Academy SPS chapter aims at measuring collisional excitation transfer and quenching cross-sections in rubidium-methane and rubidium-deuterated methane systems. This study is relevant for alkali laser development and for understanding collisional processes in alkali-buffer gas systems.
