High-power co laser
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6624987
This application discloses a laser which is free from dependence on oxygen atom dissociators and does not require any electrical input. It is a purely chemical CO laser. This invention discloses a laser in which the combustion is fueled by a suitable fuel oxidizer, e.g., CH/sub 4/-H/sub 2/-CS/sub 2/-NF/sub 3/, which dissociates the CS/sub 2/ into CS and S. The S atoms are generated in the combustor to initiate the chain reaction sequence in which the S,O/sub 2/ and CS react so that all of the CS is converted to excited CO which lases in the optical cavity.
