Abstract
We analyze the basic thermodynamic, kinetic, radiative, and spectroscopic properties of halogen and interhalogen molecules which are potentially suitable for the construction of visible and near-IR chemical lasers. We discuss the problem of chemical buildup of electronically excited states (EES) of donor molecules (or atoms). We propose a number of new kinetic schemes with formation of EES of donor particles, for the development of lasers based on electronic transitions (ET). We obtain analytic relations for the lasing condition and for the laser efficiency of a system of a “donor—acceptor” type as applied to ET chemical lasers. Actual results of research into the gain properties and energy characteristics of potential visible-band chemical NF-IF and N2-IF lasers. The possibility of using atoms in chemical lasers is discussed.
