Abstract
The recently developed technology of high‐pressure molecular lasers has been combined with ultrahigh‐vacuum technology to develop a fast‐flow high‐pressure laser system capable of long‐duration closed‐cycle operation with rare gases. The system’s economy, reliability, and capability for long‐time operation at a high repetition rate make it suitable for avionics, space, and isotope separation applications. High‐repetition‐rate laser performance has been demonstrated in He–Xe, Ne–Xe, Ar–Xe, and Kr–Xe. Experimental results for high‐pressure He–Xe mixtures are given.Keywords
