Abstract
A review of Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) chemistry, physics, and technology is presented. Individual COIL components are discussed in relation to the COIL heuristic equation, which predicts COIL performance based on well-known, measurable, device performance parameters. Topics include singlet oxygen generators (SOGs), supersonic nozzle designs, I 2 mixing, and I 2 dissociation. In addition, a brief summary of the recently invented All Gas-phase Iodine Laser (AGIL) is given, where the I*(2P½) → I(2P3/2) inversion was generated by the NCl(a1 δ) + I(2P 3/2) energy transfer reaction.
