Numerical modeling of the local relaxation kinetics of the KrF laser

  • Published:
Journal of Soviet Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A multilevel mathematical model of the local kinetics of a laser medium of initial composition He-Kr-F2 is constructed by analyzing the relaxation mechanisms of a plasma produced when an electron beam enters a dense gas. A working program is written for solving with a BÉSM-6 computer the corresponding system of balance equations for the populations and temperatures. Some results of demonstration computations are cited. Ways and prospects of improving the model are discussed.
