14. Electron collisional de-excitation and dissociation may depress the dimer gain even further. This was the case in the modeling of previous static-discharge-pumped alkali systems [5,12]. An accurate assessment of the influence of electron collisional deactivation of the dimerA state must await a more complete numerical model since it depends sensitively on the dissociative recombination and multi-step ionization rates. Electron deactivation is not expected to affect the excimer gain because of the high heavy particle dissociation rate controlling the population of the excimerA state
15. The low mach number equilibrium regime is essentially the same kinetic regime that was explored previously with static discharges through alkali-rare gas mixtures [5,6]. The absorption due to the equilibrium concentration of ground state dimers was at the root of the failure to achieve laser action in these experiments
