Pulsed amplifier model for optical extraction from a supersonic oxygen iodine medium
A time-dependent model of a single-pass amplifier which treats upper laser level pumping by O2(1 Delta), deactivation by water, and stimulated emission within the flowing oxygen-iodine medium is descr...

Metastable singlet NF: reactivity and energy storage
A flow reactor using the 2F + HN3 reaction to generate NF(a1) has been used to systematically study the reactions of NF(a1) at 300K. The biomolecular self-removal rate constant for NF(a1) was assigned...

The Zeeman effect is used here to demonstrate a gas-phase, self-healing Q-switch for a kwatt-class chemical oxygen-iodine laser. Enhancement ratios of pulse power over CW power of 16 to 1 are achieved with extraction efficiencies of 75 percent. The flows of each type of chemical are presented, and the laser configurations are shown.
