Abstract
A cw HCl chemical laser utilizing fast flow and transverse geometry is described. The reaction Cl + HI → HCl + I + 32 kcal/mole is used to achieve gains in excess of 2%/cm. Up to 70 mW of multiline power on several P branch lines of the 2→1 and 1→0 vibrational transitions has been observed.Keywords
