Long-term stability in the operation of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser for industrial use

Abstract

The influence of solution composition to the generation of the excited oxygen O2(1Δ) for a chemical oxygen-iodine laser is studied. Moderate power operation of 100 W for a duration of more than 3 h was achieved. For the achievement of long-term operation, new types of devices for water vapor trapping and new NaCl separation were developed.
