Advanced Nozzle Concepts for the Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser (COIL)

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute as follows: Iodine lasers offer the possibility of producing high average powers at a wavelength compatible with conventional fiber optic delivery systems, making them attractive for industrial applications. The planned experimental and theoretical investigations are aimed to a great extent for further understanding of physical processes taking place during mixing of gaseous components and laser active medium preparation. The knowledge obtained during this project will be largely of a general physics nature.
