Abstract
The dynamic behavior of the high‐pressure rare‐gas VUV excimer systems is examined. It is found that the collisional coupling of the excited singlet and triplet manifolds in combination with the losses arising from photoionization play a vital role in determining the over‐all performance. The proposed mechanisms provide a unified description of both the pressure dependence of the stimulated output and the observed pressure shift of the stimulated spectrum in xenon. Numerical values of the relevant parameters are given.
