Research on Molecular Lasers

Abstract

Research concerning molecular and chemical lasers was conducted in the following areas: (1) Measurement of vibrational energy transfer rates in the HF, DF, HF-DF, HF-CO2, and DF-CO2 systems over the temperature range 200- 350K; (2) Experimental design and testing of experiments to measure vibration to rotation energy transfer in HF; (3) Vibrational relaxation measurements at T = 300K of HF(v=1) DF(v=1) and CO2(001) by atoms including H,D,O,N,F,Cl, and Br; (4) Vibrational relaxation measurements at T = 300K of CO(v=1) by atoms with initial work centering on oxygen atoms; (5) Chemical laser studies in the following areas: bending mode relaxation of CO2, computer model for the CS2-O2- He chemical laser; alternate hydrogen sources for HF and DF lasers; laser heating initiated chemical reactions; CO v=1-0 pulsed chemical laser; C3O2 + O2 + He chemical CO laser; model for the C3)2 + O2 + He laser; laser initiated reactions in mixtures of B2H6.
