摘要： A laser system (52A) is illustrated having a laser cavity (54) that generates a laser beam (78). An outcoupling resonator box (62) has a reflective mirror (70) therein. A return resonator box (64) has a reflective mirror (72) therein. A first solid window assembly (66) is disposed between the outcoupling resonator box (62) and the laser cavity (54). A second solid window assembly (68) is disposed between the return resonator box (64) and the laser cavity (54) so that the beam (78) is directed through the solid window assemblies (66), (68) during operation of the laser system, thereby isolating the usually caustic environment of laser cavity (54) from that of mirrors (70), (72) that are housed in said resonator boxes (62), (64), without the use of isolation valves and optical tunnels as in traditional arrangements.

摘要： An electrolytic cell for producing chlorine and basic hydrogen peroxide suitably includes an anode partition and a cathode partition separated by a membrane. The cathode partition is divided into a catholyte compartment and a gas plenum by a gas diffusion cathode. The anode partition electrolyzes alkali chloride received from the laser to produce free chlorine and alkali ions. The catholyte partition reduces oxygen received from the gas plenum through the cathode, and produces alkaline peroxide from the oxidized components combined with alkali ions received through the membrane from the anode partition. The cell is particularly useful in a fuel regeneration system (FRS) for a chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL).

摘要： QED devices emitting EM radiation are disclosed comprising structures in microscopic cavities. Steady EM radiation is produced from structures essentially permanently separated from the cavity walls, while transient EM radiation occurs by providing means to cause the temporary separation of the structures from the cavity walls. At ambient temperature, the EM radiation from atoms in structures not separated from the cavity walls is emitted at IR frequencies. However, the IR radiation is suppressed from atoms in structures separated from the cavity walls because the cavities have higher EM resonant frequencies. To conserve EM energy, the suppressed IR radiation from the structures is spontaneously emitted and combines at the QED cavity surfaces to collectively produce VUV light, the process called cavity QED induced VUV light. QED devices are disclosed utilizing cavity QED induced VUV light to excite the atoms and molecules on the cavity surfaces to produce VIS light, electrons, and ions.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for emitting a laser like monochromatic narrow beam of light at a selected wavelength from a heated emitter member having a plurality of parallel layers while reducing emission at other wavelengths of light. The parallel layers are overlaid with each other. Each of the parallel layers extends transversely for a particular width. A heat source stimulates the emitter member to emit photons, which are determined by the composition of materials within the emitter member. The emitter member emits monochromatic light at a selected wavelength in response to the photon emissions. The selected wavelength of the monochromatic light is determined by the width of the layers of the emitter member. Light at other wavelengths does not transmit through and their emissivity also decreases. A preferred embodiment of the present invention has an emitter member with the parallel layers having a width of one-quarter of the selected wavelength, which is within the infrared portion of the light spectrum.

摘要： A process for increasing the efficiency of a chemical process yielding stimulated emission of visible radiation via fast near resonant intermolecular energy transfer comprising the steps of reacting a first metal vapor with a reactant to form a metastable state of a metal oxide or metal halide and transferring the energy from the metastable state to receptor metal atoms by means of near resonant energy transfer to form electronically excited receptor metal atoms in an inverted configuration by using highly volatile precursor compounds to provide the receptor metal atoms, by introducing a quenchant gas during the energy transfer step, or by introducing CO.sub.2 laser photons during the energy transfer step.

摘要： A combustor using D.sub.2 /NF.sub.3 /He is used in a laser gain generator in a cylindrical gas laser. The combustor includes a plurality of primary rings having fuel, oxidizer and diluent orifices therein. Fuel and oxidizer orifices form a triplet injector set that provides a reactant set. Two diluent orifices form a diluent injector set that provides a diluent set. These sets alternate about each primary ring and from one primary ring to the adjacent primary ring. Because the diluent set does not mix directly with the reactant set initially, a greater percentage of lasing products are formed because of the higher temperature in the reacting zone. Diluent is mixed as required at a later stage in the flow.
