Abstract
Operating conditions for a tunable XeCl excimer laser have been optimi zed for tunable narrow-band operation at 222 nm with KrCl, formed in K r/He/Ne/HCl gas mixtures. This wavelength is interesting for detection of nitric oxide (NO) in combustion environments. The laser emission c oincides with the (1, 1) and (2, 2) bands of the NO A-X system. Laser- induced-fluorescence spectra taken in a frame show specific excitation of NO with this laser.
