Transverse flow CW atomic iodine laser system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6033734
A transverse flow CW atomic iodine laser system uses a closed cycle fuel system to operate in a continuous mode. An elliptical pump cell having a Hg arc lamp cooled by deionized water irradiates with UV energy C/sub 3/F/sub 7/I gas to produce excited atomic iodine. A transverse flow section attached to the pump cell channels C/sub 3/F/sub 7/I gas into a laser cell where lasing occurs. The flow section has upstream and downstream flow cavities, triangular shaped, that channel the laser gas. A diffuser and flow straighteners are placed in these cavities to make the flow velocity across the transverse laser axis as uniform as possible so as to produce very stable laser gain output.
