Abstract
The kinetics of the O+2 first‐negative band laser due to near‐resonance charge exchange between He+2 and O2 are presented. It can be excited in the afterglow of a discharge in a high‐pressure He and O2 mixture (He≫O2). Gain calculation, however, is presented for discharges due to high‐energy proton beams advocating their use for high‐pressure gas lasers. In addition, a comment is made on the disappearance of 3914 laser lines with increasing N2 density in the He+2+N2 charge exchange laser.Keywords
