Abstract
Photolysis of KrF2 has been used to measure the rates of collisional quenching of KrF(B) excimers in two‐ and three‐body collisions with Ar, Kr, and F2. In addition, the KrF(B→X) band radiative lifetime was determined to be 6.8±0.2 ns. The results are in good agreement with existing theory and demonstrate the importance of quenching to KrF laser performance.Keywords
