Tellurium vapor reacts with gaseous fluorine to produce a | |
chemiluminescent flame. The emission in the visible and | |
near infrared part of the spectrum of the flame has been | |
previously attributed to the A2 psi - X 2 psi - X system | |
of TeF. Excited TeF produced in the flame was | |
investigated as a possible candidate for chemical lasing. | |
This work was intended to further characterize the TeF | |
flame using computer controlled simultaneous optical and | |
mass spectroscopy. Assignment of some band head | |
wavelengths in the TeF(A-X) system were checked and a | |
mass spectrum of the flame was obtained. The mass | |
spectrum revealed the presence of TeF, TeF2, TeF3, and | |
TeF5 in the flame. The apparently complex chemistry and | |
the distribution of chemical energy over several | |
vibrational levels in excited TeF suggest that this flame | |
is not a promising candidate for chemical laser | |
development. | |
