cw HF ELECTRIC-DISCHARGE MIXING LASER

Continuous chemical laser operation was observed with HF and DF in a system in which fluorine atoms produced in a glow discharge in SF6 are mixed with hydrogen in a subsonic flow region upstream of a transverse optical cavity. A maximum power output of 5.5 W was obtained and measurements of the outp...

Description
Summary:Continuous chemical laser operation was observed with HF and DF in a system in which fluorine atoms produced in a glow discharge in SF6 are mixed with hydrogen in a subsonic flow region upstream of a transverse optical cavity. A maximum power output of 5.5 W was obtained and measurements of the output spectral distribution were made.
