The chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) operates in the near infrared region (1.315 [mu]m) on the magnetic dipole transition between the first electronic metastable state and the basic state of atomic iodine. A periodically pulsed regime of the magnetically gain-switched chemical oxygen iodine laser was investigated. The effects of different magnetic field intensity and pulse length on the laser power pulse enhancement and the mean power conservation were studied experimentally.
