Diagnostics of Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Lasers Energized by Singlet Oxygen Jet-Generators

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Ben-Gurion University of the Negev as follows: The contractor will carry out diagnostic measurements in a small-scale supersonic chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) with transonic mixing, energized by a singlet oxygen jet- generator (JSOG). They will use a three diode laser-based diagnostic system for oxygen, water, and iodine and measure the oxygen singlet yield and water vapor fraction at the exit of the JSOG and the gain in the resonator.
