Abstract

The operation of a new type CO chemical laser has been demonstrated in which a chain reaction is initiated by ac discharge through O₂ discharge tubes and the laser cavity. The chain reaction with CS/O₂ as the fuel/oxidizer,and O and S atoms as the chain carriers, is thought to be the basis of the operation. Gain and power measurements have been made and small-signal gains of 1.1%/cm for both P₈(18) and P₆(17) have been observed 7.5 mm downstream from the CS₂ transverse injectors. Laser oscillation has been observed directly below the CS₂ transverse injectors.
