Investigation of the characteristics of a chemical laser with vibrational energy transfer from DF to CO₂ molecules

L. V. Kulakov, A. I. Nikitin, A. N. Oraevskiĭ

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical investigation was made of the characteristics of a DF–CO₂ chemical laser utilizing an optically induced D₂ + F₂ = 2 DF reaction. The investigation was carried out in a wide range of the concentrations of the components and pressures in the gas mixture. A kinetic model of a DF–CO₂ laser was used in a numerical analysis of the processes occurring in the active medium of a chemical laser. The calculated results were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
