Abstract :
HCl pulsed chemical lasing was obtained from several premixed R-Cl/HI mixtures when initiated by a transverse pulsed discharge. The relative merits of these mixtures were compared to a premixed H2/Cl2mixture. For a constant stored electrical energy several mixtures have been found which give higher specific power than the H2/Cl2system. In addition, it has been possible to run some of these improved mixtures without diluent with no laser performance degradation.
