Kinetic model of an ultraviolet laser utilizing electron transitions in molecular xenon

A kinetic model is developed for a hypotherical laser using the electron transition [Xe₂(³Σ_u⁺)+hν_L(~175 nm)→Xe₂(¹Σ_g⁺)+2hν_L], which is pumped by the processes Kr(¹S₀)+hν_r(116.5, 123.6 nm)→Kr(¹P₁,³P₁), Kr(¹P₁,³P₁)+Xe(¹S₀)→Kr(¹S₀)+Xe(³P₁), and Xe(³P₁)+Xe(¹S₀)→Xe₂(¹Σ_u⁺)→Xe₂(³Σ_u⁺), where the lower level is depopulated rapidly by the process [Xe₂(¹Σ_g⁺)→2Xe(¹S₀)].
