ABSTRACT:
There is provided a high repetition rate chemical laser comprising in combination a mixing chamber, an inlet for continuously introducing reactants into the chamber, a supersonic nozzle constituting an exit from the mixing chamber, a laser cavity located at the exit of the nozzle and a device for applying pulsed electrical discharge to the reactants in the laser cavity and a method of continuous lasing at a high repetition rate which includes premixing the desired reactants, if required with diluents or inhibitors, expanding the resulting gaseous mixture through a supersonic nozzle to a velocity greater than the combustion velocity of the mixture, and applying to the mixture a high-rate pulsed electrical discharge for initiating the chemical reaction and convecting the spent gases from the laser cavity.
