Chemical oxygen‐iodine lasers are unique in their ability to generate high‐power beams
with near diffraction limited beam quality. The operating wavelength, 1.315 µm is readily …

The first high energy lasers were demonstrated in the mid-1960s and have made
tremendous strides over the past 40+ years. This paper presents a sampling of the older …

Singlet delta oxygen (SDO) yield, small signal gain, and output power have been measured
in a scaled electric discharge excited oxygen–iodine laser. Two different types of discharges …

Herein the authors report on the demonstration of a 70% enhancement in gain and 98%
enhancement in continuous-wave laser power on the 1315 nm transition of atomic iodine via …

Continuing experiments with electric oxygen-iodine laser (ElectricOIL) technology have
significantly increased laser power output by increasing the product of gain and gain-length …

The paper presents the results of iodine vapour dissociation measurements in a high
voltage, nanosecond pulse duration, repetitively pulsed discharge, used as an auxiliary …

A comparable analysis of continuous wave (CW) and pulse-periodic (PP) operation modes
of an electro-discharge singlet oxygen generator (ED SOG) utilizing an 81 MHz discharge in …

Continuing experiments with Electric Oxygen-Iodine Laser (EOIL) technology have

A simplified single-frequency two-level model for predicting power extraction from a CW
oxygen-iodine laser (OIL) considering relaxation losses has been developed. The model …

Herein we present the calculations conducted on an Ar–O 2 surface-wave microwave
discharge and its afterglow, and show that this system can be effectively used for the oxygen …
