A multiwatt all gas-phase iodine laser (AGIL)

Description

The demonstration and characterization of a multiwatt all gas-phase iodine laser (AGIL) are described. A 20-cm subsonic reactor was used to produce NCl (a/sup 1//spl Delta/) for series parametric studies of the I/sup */(/sup 2/P/sub 1/2/)-I(/sup 2/P/sub 3/2/) small-signal gain and extracted power dependence on reactant flow rates and reaction time. The highest measured gain was 2.5/spl times/10/sup -4/ cm/sup -1/ and the highest power observed was 15 W.
