Popis: The previous companion paper has shown the potential for development of the CO chain‐reaction laser. Given the importance of this development, the CO chemical laser modeling code was extended to describe this device. The improved model has been shown to accurately predict both the essential chemical and optical properties of the experimental device. Specifically, the chemical chain length, gain coefficients, and power‐output predictions are in very good agreement with experiment. Finally, the model predicts efficient operation of CO chain‐reaction laser at high cavity pressures.
