Popis: This report describes characterization experiments investigating an HF intramolecular Optical resonance Transfer Laser (ORTL), with variation in pump laser characteristics, ORTL volume and ORTL medium composition, pressure, and flow velocity. Input coupling, conversion, and overall efficiency were characterized in several different geometries. Maximum values of 83 per cent for conversion efficiency and 29 per cent for overall efficiency were observed. Initial temporal measurements revealed no dynamic feedback interaction in the intra-cavity configuration. Diffraction limited ORTL beam quality was observed.
