BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS: Kinetics of the emission spectrum of an LiF:F^-_2 laser
It is shown that the kinetics of the establishment of the spectral distribution of the radiation in an LiF: crystal laser agrees with the lasing kinetics of homogeneously broadened media. The laser was used to record the A 2A (0, 0, 1)← 2A'' (0, 0, 0) rotational lines of the electronic transition in the HO2 radical with a sensitivity of 10 −7 cm−1.
