Gain measurement in a supersonic jet utilizing a D+O/sub 3/+CO/sub 2/ mixture

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
The gain at the 10.6-..mu.. wavelength was measured in a supersonic jet in which a stream of argon and atomic deuterium was mixed with ozone and carbon dioxide. The atomic deuterium was formed by thermal dissociation behind a reflected shock wave and flowed out through a supersonic nozzle at whose edge the ozone and carbon dioxide were mixed in. A change in the ejector design, from that used previously, resulted in a considerable increase in the measured gain. The achievement of a gain of 2.1 m/sup -1/ is reported.
