Laser spectroscopy Vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy Dissertations -- Physics Theses -- Physics Thesis (MSc (Physics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. A tunable vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) laser source was recently developed for VUV spectroscopy using state selective excitation and total fluorescence detection. The VUV laser source makes use of a four-wave mixing process to provide tunable VUV radiation for the electronic excitation of the molecules. The theory of four-wave mixing, with the emphasis on parameters that are important for our experimental setup to generate efficient tunable VUV radiation is discussed. The experimental setup, and in particular the metal vapor heat-pipe, which provides Mg vapor as the nonlinear medium, is described. New diagnostic equipment described in this work was added to the experimental setup. This equipment was characterized and utilized together with the existing setup. The additional diagnostic equipment introduced enabled us to measure the tunable VUV output of the source (using a VUV monochromator), making it possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the existing tunable VUV laser source. 2006-11-10T09:10:59Z 2010-06-01T08:44:16Z 2006-11-10T09:10:59Z 2010-06-01T08:44:16Z 2005-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2244 en_ZA University of Stellenbosch 2310518 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
