Abstract

A number of photoionization mechanisms and how they can be used to generate large-volume laser plasmas are discussed. Reaction rates for two-step photoionization of the cesium atoms as well as formation of molecular ions (Cs2+) are estimated. The necessary cross-section data were obtained from related research in thermionic energy converters. © 1973, IEEE. All rights reserved.
