4 Experimental Approach VG CW excitation of Cs, Rb by 1 W Ti:sapphire laser Ti:S operated as standing wave cavity (~2 GHz linewidth) CW power scaling: DPAL gain, multi-quantum NIR excitation Observe gain by tunable diode laser spectroscopy DPAL mode: pump 2 S 1/2 2 P 3/2, probe 2 P 1/2 2 S 1/2 500 Torr RG + 75 Torr C 2 H 6 XPAL gain not observable for CW system (<10 kw/cm 2 ) Observe NIR side fluorescence with InGaAs array spectrometer XPAL mode: pump various wavelengths in exciplex band 500 Torr Ar, Kr, Xe; no hydrocarbon Observe scaling of NIR emission vs. temperature LIF excitation spectra: structure of exciplex band Short alkali cell lengths: 1 cm, 5 cm Less optically thick to gain-probe laser beam
5 Apparatus for Alkali-Rare Gas Spectroscopy VG Longitudinal pump: 1 W Ti:S laser (2 GHz line width) Co-linear TDL beam for gain measurements Side view for fluorescence spectrometer

7 Optical Layout for DPAL/XPAL Gain Measurements VG Ti:S laser pumps D 2 transition: F = 3 or 4 Ethane collisions produce emission on D 1 transition TDL laser probes absorption/gain on D 1 : F = 3 and 4

Expect significant process at high pump power, high T
15 NIR Transitions Observed in Cs-Xe, Rb-Kr = mm, Ti:S Power Density kw/cm 2 VG Cs Rb
16 Cs, Rb Near-IR Excitation Spectra: 4 2 F States Pump on D 2 : ~8 kw/cm 2 VG F states are >1000 cm -1 above 2-photon energy for 852 nm Likely collisional energy pooling Examine scaling with pump power, temperature (ground state concentration)
17 Fluorescence Signal, counts/s Cs(7 2 S 1/2 ) Fluorescence vs. Pump Power Cs-Xe: mm (7 2 S 1/2 6 2 P 3/2 ) 200 C 180 C 160 C 140 C 120 C 100 C 90 C VG Ti:S Average Power Density, kw/cm 2 Similar results for RbKr, Rb(6 2 S 1/2, 4 2 F) transitions ½-order scaling with pump intensity indicates complex excitation mechanism
18 NIR Excitation: Variation with Pump Wavelength Cs-Xe, 1469 nm (7 2 S 1/2 6 2 P 3/2 ) Pump Power Density ~8 kw/cm 2 VG Significant excitation in red wing of D 2 Blue wing is weaker Broadening and spectral structure near D 2 line Blue (7 2 P) fluorescence visible down to 840 nm (band head)

23 Summary and Conclusions CW gain scaling for Cs/Kr/C 2 H 6 mixtures suggests loss process at higher pump power, larger Cs concentrations Multiphoton excitation or collisional energy pooling? Pump D 2 lines in Cs/Xe, Rb/Kr mixtures: strong NIR fluorescence in several lines 1-4 mm Upper state energies 2-3 ev Excitation of 2 F states above 2-photon energy: not multiphoton Scaling with pump power and T are sub-linear, indicates collisional up-pumping Observe excitation of Cs(7 2 S 1/2, 4 2 F) in Ar, Kr, Xe via exciplex band Complicated band structures Evidence points to complex optical and collisional excitation mechanism Possible loss process for optically pumped 2 P states Potential for NIR laser transitions VG
