Aerodynamic window for chemical laser

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7307702
A low pressure gas laser is provided with an aerodynamic window for the generated high power laser beam. The window comprises a duct with an oblique opening located in the supersonic part of and aligned with the axis of a Laval nozzle, having an atmospheric entrance. This permits extraction of the beam from the laser without any contact through a solid window.
