Abstract
Experiments were performed with electron‐beam‐pumped Ar–N2 mixtures. Laser emission on the second positive band transitions 3577 Å (0–1) and 3805 Å (0–2) was observed in an optical cavity fitted with Brewster angle windows. Some exciting preliminary experiments in which the laser windows were mounted at normal incidence were performed. These results indicated superfluorescent emission with an efficiency of 0.4%. The energy pathways in the irradiated mixtures were modeled and compared to the experimental results.Keywords
