Abstract

In order to investigate the gasdynamic laser (GDL) a conventional pressure driven shock tube equipped with the nozzle apparatus was used. Kinetic study of CO2 formation in CO–N2O–H2 system behind a reflected shock wave was carried out by measuring 4·25 μm emission of CO2. Then, population inversions of the vibrational level of CO2 in an expanding flow of mixtures containing CO2 produced by high temperature reaction of CO–N2O–H2 system behind reflected shock wave were observed by measuring 10.6 μm small signal gains. The experimental data are compared with those obtained by computer simulation assuming quasi-one dimensional steady flow and three vibrational energy modes model. The optimum conditions for CO2 gasdynamic laser by using the shock heated CO–N2O–H2 system are discussed.
