摘要：
We report on a highly efficient supersonic chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL), with supersonic mixing of iodine and oxygen. Output power exceeding 0.5 kW with chemical efficiency of similar to33% was obtained in a 5-cm gain length for Cl-2 flow rate of 17 mmole/s. A 33% efficiency is the highest reported chemical efficiency of any supersonic COIL. Comparison between different mixing schemes shows that, for supersonic mixing, the output power and chemical efficiency are about 20% higher than for transonic mixing scheme. The optimal conditions for the efficient operation are investigated. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
