Abstract

The following review is focused on two fundamental problems investigated by our team:

 

• The formation of a scalable self-sustained volume discharge in strongly electronegative gases and the creation of wide-aperture high-energy non-chain HF (DF) chemical lasers;
• The generation spectrum of a non-chain HF(DF) chemical lasers expanding and creating lasers with high energy per pulse, pulsed and average power in the spectral range > 4.1 μ

 

Keywords: High energy/power lasers, non-chain chemical lasers, wide-aperture laser system, electronegative gas.
