BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS: Pulse-periodic iodine photodissociation laser pumped with radiation from magnetoplasma compressors
A study was made of the characteristics of an iodine photodissociation laser pumped by radiation emitted from magnetoplasma compressors. A closed system for circulating the working gas C3F7I was employed in this laser. Pulse-periodic operation with an interval of 1 min between the pulses was achieved; the output energy was 110 J and the pulse duration was 30 μ sec.
