Study of Chemical Reactions and Energy Transfer for High-energy and High-Power Lasers.

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to perform theoretical and experimental investigation on reactive and nonreactive collision processes that occur in chemical laser systems. The theoretical investigation was focused on developing reliable and tractable numerical techniques that describe the dynamics of the collision processes. The experimental effort was devoted to a chemical laser scheme based on gas phase chemiluminescence reactions that allows pre-mixing of the reagents. (Author)
