We present a theoretical framework which describes multiply charged atomic ions, their stability within super-intense laser fields, and also lay corrections to the systems due to relativistic effects. Dimensional scaling calculations with relativistic corrections for systems: H, H(-), H(2 -), He, He(-), He(2 -), He(3 -) within super-intense laser fields were completed. Also completed were three...

Operating conditions for a tunable XeCl excimer laser have been optimized for tunable narrow-band operation at 222 nm with KrCl, formed in Kr/He/Ne/HCl gas mixtures. This wavelength is interesting for detection of nitric oxide (NO) in combustion environments. The laser emission coincides with the (1, 1) and (2, 2) bands of the NO A-X system. Laser-induced-fluorescence spectra taken in a flame s...
