Abstract

A physical model of the temporal aspects of the ground electronic state of XeF in an e-beam pumped environment has been developed in terms of the most recent kinetic and thermochemical information available. Surprisal theory was used to interrelate the individual collision transition probabilities, including those describing promotion of molecules to the dissociation continuum. Molecular dissociation was assumed to occur solely from the continuum, the rate for which was obtained from the constraints of equilibrium. The model includes thermochemical aspects which account for the possibility of dissociation arising from thermally derived rotational excitation. The model, as developed, considerably impacts our interpretation of the phenomenon of improved laser performance at elevated temperatures. Considerable light is also shed on the physics of energy distribution among the principal operating frequencies of the laser.
