Feasibility of developing a cw OH chemical laser

Feasibility of developing a cw OH chemical laser

An analysis is made of the conditions required for efficient lasing in an OH chemical laser utilizing the H + 03 yields OH(v) + O2 chemical reaction. It is shown that high gains may be achieved due to vibrational-rotational transitions in the OH radical so that a substantial excess over the lasing t...

Zusammenfassung:An analysis is made of the conditions required for efficient lasing in an OH chemical laser utilizing the H + 03 yields OH(v) + O2 chemical reaction. It is shown that high gains may be achieved due to vibrational-rotational transitions in the OH radical so that a substantial excess over the lasing threshold may be expected in this laser. Attention is drawn to the potential usefulness of this laser in the CW regime.
