The design and performance of a small cw CO flame laser with a total power output of 5 W is presented. The influence of the flow rates of the reactants and additives to the spectral composition of the laser power output has been studied in detail.
The design and performance of a transverse flow cw subsonic HF chemical laser are presented. The laser provides up to 46 W (120 W) cw output power with argon (helium) as a diluent gas on a number of Pv(J) lines corresponding to v = 1→v = 0 and v = 2→v = 1 vibrational transitions of hydrogen fluoride. The measured values of electrical efficiency, chemical efficiency, and specific power with argon (helium) were 0.4% (0.8%), 1.2% (3.1%), and 13 J/g (66 J/g), respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
