<title>Chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) technology and development</title>

Numerical simulation of the magnetically gain-switched chemical oxygen-iodine laser

“…Owing to its power scalability, short wavelength, atmospheric transmittance and excellent beam quality, the chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) is a competitive high-power laser for both industrial and military applications [ 1 ]. During the past decades, great achievements have been made on the development of COIL operating in continuous wave mode.…”

Coupled simulation of chemical lasers based on intracavity partially coherent light model and 3D CFD model

“…However, some optical and aerodynamical parameters are updated. In the current study, the device is equipped with a stable resonator that consists of a plane outcoupling mirror M 1 Table 1. And the chemical reactions used in simulation can be found in [7].…”

“…chemical oxygen iodine lasers (COIL) involves the entangled processes of optical oscillation, fluid mixing and chemical reactions [1]. To get a better understanding of these processes and improve the laser design, reliable models have to be built.…”

A 3.9 µm Ho 3+ :BaY 2 F 8 laser directly pumped by laser diodes

“…In general, the molecules of hydrocarbon gas, toxic gas, and harmful gas have a strong absorption characteristic spectrum in this band. The conventional 3–5 μm mid‐infrared lasers mainly include: chemical oxygen‐iodine lasers (COILs) [5], free‐electron lasers (FELs) [6], gas lasers (GLs) [7], quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) [8], optical parametric oscillator (OPO) or optical parametric amplifier (OPA) lasers [9], directly pumped mid‐infrared solid lasers [10], and so on. Recently, a rare‐earth‐doped fibre laser at 3.92 μm has been successfully developed [11].…”
