Hydrogen Fluoride Laser Technology Study (CCN)

Abstract

In the course of performing the work discussed in this report, the basic feasibility of Rayleigh Scattering, Raman Scattering and Holographic Interferometry as HF/DF laser cavity diagnostic techniques was investigated. A new HF/DF chemical laser system designated CL III was designed, fabricated and underwent preliminary testing to evaluate reactant mixing of parallel, fully developed H2 and F supersonic flows in the lasing cavity and scaling to higher power while maintaining good potential for pressure recovery.
