Abstract

A new UV–visible chemical laser scheme, invoking a novel chemiexcitation method for the well-known XeF laser, exhibits promising characteristics in a detailed numerical model and experimental studies. Reaction of premixed XeF₂ and HN₃ is photoinitiated, then continues by radical chain propagation. The upper laser level is produced by energy transfer from metastable N₂ electronic states.
