Abstract :
We report spectral emission and saturation properties of Lumilass G9 fluorescence glass excited using a 157nm laser emitting ~10ns duration pulses. The application of this fluorescence glass and a CCD array for beam profiling and divergence measurements, and for deriving information on the spatial coherence function of the F2 laser is described.
