Abstract

Eighteen laser transitions were observed in Te and Ge hollow cathode discharges, four of which (6294, 5649, and 5488 Å of Te II and 5893 of Ge II) are reported for the first time. Charge exchange, Penning ionization, and radiative cascade processes are suggested as being responsible for the population of the upper laser levels.
