Pulsed periodical chemical laser based on chain reaction of fluorine and hydrogen with pulse energy near 5 kJ and repetition rate near 1 Hz

Abstract

The characteristics of 45 litres active volume chemical laser, which chain reaction was initiated by two contraiy electron beams with 1 Hz repetition rate, have been investigated. Maximum single pulse energy was about 5 KJ, radiation divergence -near iO4 rad.
