HF (DF) ECOLOGICALLY SAFE HIGH-ENERGY/POWER LASERS: A REVIEW

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
