Abstract

A high-speed wind tunnel, made by using a Ludwieg tube, has been successfully developed for a highly repetitive discharge-pumped excimer laser. This apparatus allows the gas flow of velocity approximately 204 m/s, pressure approximately 293 kPa, temperature approximately 254 K, and duration time approximately 48 ms. The rate constant for the recombination process of Xe⁺ + Cl^- + Ne yields XeCl^X + Ne is found to increase to a maximum of 4.2 X 10^-6 cm³/s at 180 K in a gas pressure of 294.2 kPa. The kinetic simulation of XeCl excimer laser using such a rate constant indicates the enhancement of the laser output in the lower gas temperatures.
