E-Beam HCl Laser
Abstract
The feasibility of producing stimulated emission in the 3 - 5 wavelength band by exciting hydrogen chloride vibrational levels by electron impact is being investigated theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical predictions of electrically pulsed HCl laser performance indicate that gain coefficient in excess of 1%/cm and optical efficiencies in the 20-30 percent range should be realizable in the present experiment. The pulsed HCl laser experiments in progress are described.
