Experimental Study of a CW Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser,

Abstract

Through experimentation, a continuous wave oxygen-iodine chemical laser was achieved. When the amount of chlorine flow was 50mmol/s, the output power reached 1kW. In conjunction with this, measurements were made of beam divergence angles, investigating the relationships between beam divergence angles and power as well as cavity reflector curvature radii.
