title: Emission from ionic cesium fluoride excimers excited by a laser-produced plasma.
abstract: CsF vapor generated in a heat pipe was excited by a laser-produced plasma. Temporally integrated spectra and time-resolved fluorescence on the ionic excimer transition Cs(2+)F(-) ? Cs(+)F were observed at 185 nm. The pressure dependence of the fluorescence is influenced by self-absorption in the CsF vapor. The fluorescence is assigned to the Cs(2+)F(-) ((2)Sigma(1/2), B)? Cs(+)F ((2)Sigma(1/2),X) transition.
