  • Abstract
    This paper describes an experimental investigation of a pulsed CS2/O2chemical CO laser initiated in a high-pressure double-discharge TEA-laser system. A distributed volumetric discharge was obtained and yielded a maximum pulse energy of 115 mJ with a chemical efficiency of 4.5 percent, an electrical efficiency of 2.5 percent, and a specific output energy of 1 J/1. Experimental results and modeling calculations indicate that chain-branching production of O atoms does not occur under the experimental conditions investigated.
