Abstract

Experimental results are presented on a transverse-flow chemical laser using the reaction of atomic oxygen with carbon disulfide. The design of this device has allowed fast mixing and rapid flow of the reaction products into and out of the volume of the laser optical fields. Primarily because of the transverse flow, the measured output powers are more than one order of magnitude greater than those of similar longitudinal-flow devices. The addition of cold CO to the reaction increases the output power by a factor of typically 2, and may be due to an additional laser-excitation mechanism.
