Popis: | A new class of chemical lasers based on electronic transitions of atoms, radicals, or molecules excited via oxidation chain reactions in the presence of catalysts is proposed and discussed. The possibility is considered of using these processes to realize four lasing schemes: directly via transitions of excited intermediate products, in an exchange chemical laser, using narrowband “chemical lamps,” and in chemical-excimer lasers. A number of specific active mixtures are proposed. The gain of a realizable chemical Na-BaOlaser is calculated. The possibility of using chemical reactions with participation of cluster molecules are analyzed. The use of atoms as acceptor (emitting) particles is discussed. Two methods of obtaining increased atom densities are proposed. Certain possibilities of obtaining cw lasing on self-limiting atom transitions are considered. |
