A kinetic model for KrF is presented that, by neglecting all but the most important kinetic processes, adequately describes the performance of electron-beam-pumped KrF lasers by a few, simple analytical expressions. The expression for the saturation intensity as a function of pump rate and gas composition is checked by measurements of gain saturation in both argon-rich and krypton-rich laser mixtures. The effects of fluorine burn-up are considered and are shown to impose a fundamental relationship between output fluence and efficiency of KrF laser amplifiers.

Water affects the amplitude of photoacoustic signals from many gas phase molecules. In quartz-enhanced photoacoustic (QEPAS) measurements of CO excited at the fundamental vibrational resonance of CO, the photoacoustic signal decreases with increasing humidity, reaches a pronounced minimum at ~0.19%V, and increases with humidity for higher water contents. This peculiar trend is explained by competing endothermal and exothermal pathways of the vibrational relaxation of CO in N2 and H2O. Near-resonant vibrational–vibrational transfer from CO to N2, whose vibrational frequency is 188 cm−1 higher than in CO, consumes thermal energy, yielding a kinetic cooling effect. In contrast, vibrational relaxation via H2O is fast and exothermal, and hence counteracts kinetic cooling, explaining the observed trend. A detailed kinetic model for collisional relaxation of CO in N2 and H2O is presented. Simulations using rate constants obtained from literature were performed and compared to humidity dependent QEPAS experiments at varying pressure. Agreement between the experiments and simulations confirmed the validity of the model. The kinetic model can be used to identify optimized experimental conditions for sensing CO and can be readily adapted to include further collision partners.
