Pulsed Chemical Laser Technology Development Test Plan Single Pulse Diagnostic Testing,
Abstract
Single pulse DF and DF/CO2 transfer laser testing will be conducted to expand the data base for verification and extension of performance scaling relations. Scaling relations are currently based on the analytical effort completion under Task I and the comparison of this analysis with the available data. Tests will explore the effects on performance of gas composition with constituents included F2, D2, O2, HF, NF3, He, N2, and CO2 at both DF and CO2 wavelengths. Tests will explore the nature of the medium in terms of F atom initiation level and gain, the nature of the initiating electron beam source in terms of energy deposition level and uniformity and pulse length, and laser yield in terms of total energy, pulse shape and time resolved spectra. The system will operate at pressures ranging from 200 to 760 torr.
