Abstract:
Theoretical and experimental studies of spectral and energy characteristics of radiation of a photoinitiated HF/DF laser working on the chain reaction in the F2:(H2+D2):O2:He=3:1:0.3:6.7 mixture are performed under atmospheric pressure as functions of the ratio of the initial concentrations of H2 and D2 and the resonator losses. Optimal conditions are determined for simultaneous lasing in HF and DF molecules in the spectral range 2.7 – 4.8 μm.
