Experimental Studies of a Potential Pure Chemical CO2 Laser.
Abstract
An experimental investigation is being made into a potenial pure chemical CO2 laser based on the Na-catalyzed combustion of CO with N2O. Combustion takes place in a simple chain reaction, which has been verified experimentally. Various experiments have evaluated chain length, chemical kinetics, effects of diluents and stoichiometry, chemiluminescence, emission spectra, and chemical laser gain at 10.6 micrometer; the results are reviewed in the report.
