Far infrared chemical lasers. Technical progress report No. 3, August 1, 1976--July 31, 1977. [HCN]
Description:
Laser oscillation at 337 and 311 ..mu..m has been obtained from HCN molecules prepared in vibrationally excited states by the reaction between cyanogen radicals and hydrogen molecules. It has likewise been observed in HCN raised to an electronically excited state by flash photolysis. The characteristics of the pulsed output are quite different in the two cases and beginnings have been made on experiments to probe the pumping and energy transfer kinetics. The rate determining step is not the rea…
