title: Kinetics modeling of a pulsed Cu-Ne discharge: potential for new ultraviolet laser transitions in Cu II.
abstract: A rate-equation analysis has been used to investigate the feasibility of exciting new UV laser transitions in Cu II (3d(9)4p-3d(9)4s) by use of a pulsed Cu-Ne discharge. The model predicts average output powers in excess of 100 mW at 10 kHz from the combined output at 201.5 and 211.2 nm.
