The effects of line-selected operation on an HF chemical laser are examined using a finite rate rotational relaxation model of an HF laser gain medium coupled to a stable cavity radiation model. So long as at least one line per vibrational manifold was allowed to lase, a significant portion of the free running laser power was available. For a DF laser, it was found that the requirement of simultaneous lasing on the 1-0 and 2-1 transitions was of major importance. 13 references.
