Scale-up of NF(<i>a</i>1Δ) produced by the H+NF2 system in a subsonic cw laser device

Abstract

A peak density of the electronically excited free-radical species NF(a1Δ) of 2.4×10−9 mol cm3 has been chemically produced in a subsonic laser device. This high concentration confirms previous analyses and predictions of the chemical system. This is a concentration scale-up of 104 from previous flow-tube results.
