Optical-optical double resonance involving the coupling of a vacuum-ultraviolet spark source with a laser: two-step excitation in rare gases.
An experimental setup including the synchronized coupling of a VUV spark source with a laser is described. Experimental results on the depletion of Ar(2), Kr(2), and Xe(2) excimer fluorescence illustrate the capability of the system.
