Pulsed Hydrogen-Fluoride Laser,

Abstract

This report describes a pulsed hydrogen-fluoride laser which has been constructed at MRL. The laser delivers an energy of 7 J in a microsecond pulse from vibrational-rotational transitions in the wavelength region 2.6-3.1 micrometers. It simultaneously produces 1 mJ of energy in a 1 microsecond pulse from pure rotational transitions in the wavelength region 10-17 micrometers. Originator furnished keywords include: Chemical lasers, Hydrogen fluoride lasers, Electric discharge, Pulse discharge.
