Numerical simulation of the effect of atomic oxygen impurity on the formation of population inversion during axisymmetric mixing of iodine and excited oxygen flows

We have performed a parametric analysis of the influence of the percentage fraction of atomic oxygen in the O 2 :O 2 ( 1 Δ):O flow on the formation of population inversion for a laser transition in iodine atoms and the temperature regime at an elevated pressure of P = 5 Torr in a system with axisymmetric injection of a I 2 : He mixture to the flow of oxygen excited by an electric-discharge singlet oxygen generator.
