Abstract

The equilibrium internuclear geometry has been calculated for the excimer state of Xe₂Cl. At this geometry absorption and emission transition probabilities have been calculated for transitions that bear on the gain of the Xe₂Cl excimer transition and of the XeCl C–A transition. The total lifetime of the Xe₂Cl excimer state is found to be 330 ns for a fluorescence peak at 495 nm. Significant absorption is found to peak at 438 nm which would preclude tuning a laser over the entire fluorescence band. A very strong absorption from the Xe₂Cl excimer state is also found at 339 nm which practically coincides with the broadband XeCl C–A transition.
