Abstract

Investigation of the possibility of the quasicontinuous UV carbon monoxide first negative system laser development is interesting with the fact that quantum efficiency for 0-0 transition (λ = 219 nm) is 13.3%. H₂, D₂, Kr have high values of the deactivation rate constants of X² Σ⁺ level. So the possibility of quasicontinuous laser on B-X transition of CO⁺ is determined by the ratio of the upper and lower laser levels quenching rates of H₂, D₂ molecules, Kr atoms. In the present work the luminescence spectra of gas mixtures with carbon monoxide under α-particle excitation are investigated. CO⁺ (B) quenching rate constants are obtained from dependence of the CO first negative system intensity on gases partial pressure in He+CO+H2 (D₂, Kr) mixtures. At the analysis of experimental dates the population of the upper level during He₂⁺-CO charge exchange was taken into account. Efficiency of B² Σ⁺_{u, v=0}level population was defined by the ratio of the intensities of 1^- system of N₂ and Baldet-Johnson system in He-N₂ and He-CO mixtures. The upper limit for the CO⁺ (B) quenching rate constant in collisions with H₂(D₂, Kr) is estimated as: k_q<10^-10cm³ s^-1. The results indicate the possibility of the efficient quasicontinuous laser action on the carbon monoxide first negative system in UV spectral region under ionized radiation source pumping.
