The results of measurements of the unsaturated gain K/sub 0/ under conditions of supersonic mixing of reagent streams show a satisfactory agreement with the corresponding results of calculations made using a quasione-dimensional mixing model and assuming that the Cl+H/sub 2/ ..-->.. HCl+H reaction is speeded up by vibrational excitation of the hydrogen molecules. The recorded values of K/sub 0/ indicate that an H--H/sub 2/--Cl/sub 2/--CO/sub 2/ laser with supersonic mixing of the reagents may be developed but the energy parameters are considerably inferior to those of similar DF--CO/sub 2/ and OD--CO/sub 2/ lasers.
