Abstract: | The kinetic processes occurring in an electric-discharge oxygen-iodine laser are analyzed with the help of a 2D (r, z) gasdynamic model taking into account transport of excited oxygen, singlet oxygen, and radicals from the electric discharge
and their mixing with the iodine-containing gas. The main processes affecting the dynamics of the gas temperature and gain
are revealed. The simulation results obtained using the 2D model agree well with the experimental data on the mixture gain.
A subsonic oxygen-iodine laser in which singlet oxygen is generated by a 350 W transverse RF discharge excited in an oxygen
flow at a pressure P = 10 Torr and the discharge tube wall is covered with mercury oxide is simulated. The simulated mixing system is optimized
in terms of the flow rate and the degree of preliminary dissociation of the iodine flow. The optimal regime of continuous
operation of a subsonic electric-discharge oxygen-iodine laser is found. |
