Abstract :
A dedicated CW chemical oxygen iodine mini-laser is constructed and used to probe the two-dimensional (2-D) distribution of small-signal gains in a supersonic CW chemical oxygen iodine laser (CW COIL). The uneven lateral gain distribution may possibly be explained by boundary layer effects
