Notes:
In order to study laser oscillation mechanisms of a KrF-laser-pumped iron vapor plasma, the population densities of iron atoms, the temperature, and the electron density in iron vapor plasma have been measured. The iron vapor plasma was produced from an iron plate by irradiation with a pulsed YAG laser (2 J/pulse). The population density of the ground-state iron atoms is about 1014–1015 cm−3, the temperature is about 5000–20 000 K, and the electron density is about 1013–1016 cm−3. When a KrF laser of 34 mJ/pulse irradiates the iron vapor plasma, the absorption cross section of the KrF laser by the iron atom is about 10−16–10−15 cm2. An optical gain has been calculated on the basis of the experimental results, and it is compared with the gain measured experimentally. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
