Discharge Excited Catalytic Oxygen Iodine Laser (DECOIL)

Abstract

(U) The Discharge Excited Catalytic Oxygen Iodine Laser (DECOIL) program investigated the potential of the electric oxygen iodine lasers to make maximum use of air (80%N2/20%O2) in the laser device. The DECOIL device is an alternative to the well known chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) developed in 1977 and scaled to megawatt (MW) levels.
