Popis: A comparative study was made of stimulated emission from chemical H2–F2, D2–F2, and D2–F2–CO2 lasers initiated by an electron beam. Under identical experimental conditions the output energy of the D2–F2–CO2 laser was practically equal to the output energy of the H2–F2 laser, but the duration of the output pulses of the D2–F2–CO2 laser was 2.5 times greater. A mixture of the F2:D2:O2:CO2:He = 150:60:12:150:375 Torr composition yielded a specific energy of 60 J/liter for a chemical efficiency of 3.5% and an efficiency of 330% when measured relative to the pump energy deposited in the active region. The He content of the mixture had little effect on the stimulated emission parameters of the D2–F2–CO2 laser.
