Excimer lasers are powerful sources of radiation in the UV, providing several laser lines between 157 and 353 nm. The excimer laser transition is bound-free, and thus the emitted wavelengths are broad-band (up to 200 cm−1). In addition the high gain (0.15 cm−1) of the laser gas causes a rather large divergence (>1 mrad) in conventional excimer lasers.A new excimer laser concept is described which improves the spectral brightness in terms of watt/(rad × bandwidth) by three orders of magnitude. This allows, through non-linear processes such as Raman shifting the fundamental output and four-wave-mixing in gases, the generation of new laser lines in the UV and VUV.

Laser-excited atomic fluorescence spectrometry (LEAFS) can be an extremely sensitive method of trace analysis. However, some elements, such as As, have strong absorption lines only below 200 nm. Dye laser systems capable of resonance excitation of As are complicated and very expensive. By coincidence, a simple fixed-frequency argon fluoride (ArF) excimer laser produces a broad-band output centered at 193.0–193.2 nm overlapping the As absorption line at 193.7 nm. The use of an ArF excimer laser as a source for LEAFS detection of As in a H2/air flame and an Ar-ICP has been evaluated. Detection limits of about 20 ng/mL were obtained with both atomizers. The limiting noise was laser-induced scatter in both cases. Methods of improving the detection powers are discussed.

ABSTRACTExcimer laser photolysis at 248 nm of trimethylgal1ium (TMG) was studied by probing gallium atoms by laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. From the dependence of LIF intensity on the excitation wavelength, temperature and pressure, a thermally assisted photodissociation in the chemisorbed state was concluded.
