Abstract :
A computer code modeling the CS2/O CW CO chemical laser (CL) is reported. The accuracy of the code has been tested by calculations of small-signal gain, output power, and chemical species densities in devices for which experimental data ate available. Generally, good agreement is obtained. The code was also used to predict gain variations with diluent/fuel ratio, initial temperature, and cavity pressure.
