New Materials for Chemical Laser Windows.

Abstract

Many of the more common materials such as the alkaline earth fluorides, ZnSe, and the alkali halides have been studied for use as low loss windows on DF-HF chemical lasers yet there remain others which have received little or no attention at these wavelengths. We have begun to investigate some of these other materials in hopes of finding additional low absorbing materials which show potential as laser windows.
