Small continuous wave (CW) HF chemical laser
Abstract
The structure and performance of a small continuous wave HF chemical laser are described. A total of 18 lines from V=1 to 0 and 2 to 1 transitions were observed. The maximum single line output is 900mW. In single frequency operation, the short term frequency stability is about 20 to 30 MHz.
