Modeling of Flowing Plasmas and Pulse Power Schemes for O2(1Delta) Production for Chemical Lasers
Abstract
The objectives of the research program were met. Significant progress was made in improving our understanding of the plasma kinetics of O2(1Delta) production for pumping of eCOILs. Advances were made in 3 areas: (1) pulse power schemes, (2) use of additives and (3) high pressure operation. Methods and scaling laws were developed to optimize the yield of O2(1Delta) in flowing plasmas in each of these areas.
