Abstract

A supersonic mixing nozzle for CO2 gas-dynamic lasers is presented. It is shown that satisfactory mixing can be obtained with an increase of the freeze efficiency over simple expansion nozzles for premixed flows. Gain constants in the vicinity of 3% cm−1 are found, and a twofold improvement of the thermal-to-optical conversion efficiency over conventional GDL is predicted.
