Title: The effects of heavy water (D/sub 2/O) as a catalyst in a CO/sub 2/--N/sub 2/ gasdynamic laser

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7347774

The results of an experimental shock tunnel investigation of the effects of varying heavy water concentration and temperature on the small-signal-gain of a gasdynamic laser are presented. Comparisons of experiment with numerical predictions of small-signal-gain are made, as well as a comparison of heavy water with water as a catalyst for a gasdynamic laser.
