| 内容記述 | The operating characteristics and scaling parameters of a flashlamp-pumped, 4-m-long IBr laser were investigated to further evaluate its potential as a solar-pumped laser. A peak power of 3 kW/sq cm at 2.7 microns was achieved at 4-Torr IBr pressure. A gain of 0.07 per m was measured at a maximum capacitor discharge energy of 4 kJ. The threshold input power necessary for lasing was found to decrease by a factor of 4 and the laser pulse width increased fourfold as the active gain length was increased from 1 to 4 m. A maximum pulse width of 120 microseconds was achieved with 10-Torr argon diluent added to 4-Torr IBr. Quenching of the excited state by the parent molecule was shown to be unimportant for pressures less than 4-Torr IBr. An intrinsic efficiency in the range of 12 percent has been measured for flashlamp-pumped IBr. |
