Abstract
Spontaneous‐emission and absorption studies of the Ne‐Cu hollow‐cathode laser are summarized. The major discharge processes operative in the Ne‐Cu laser are outlined and the qualitative aspects of a proposed model of the Ne‐Cu laser are discussed. Emphasis is placed on cathode sputtering as a source of copper atoms, and we demonstrate that copper densities of 1014 atoms/cm3 are created via discharge sputtering.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
