Abstract

The exothermic chain reactions between deuterium and fluorine have been used to produce laser emission from carbon dioxide in a high-pressure chemical waveguide laser. Chemical chain reactions initiated by flash photolysis of this system produced 10.6-μm radiation from a 3-mm-diam laser tube having an effective length of 50 cm. Lasing occurs in stable D2-F2-CO2-He mixtures at pressures as high as 1 atm with peak power of 2.5 kW for pulses of 20-μsec duration.
