  • Abstract
    The average output power of pulsed HF chemical lasers is found to depend strongly on the fluorine source used. The best performance was obtained from H2-C2F6-He mixes, which gave average powers of 850 mW and energies of 20 mJ/pulse. Peak gains of at least 0.036 cm-1are observed. Average powers of 450 mW from DF and 70 mW from HCl are reported.
