Soviet Chemical Laser Research: Pulsed Lasers


Book Description

The document reviews Soviet work on pulsed chemical lasers published in the open literature in 1963-1970. Whereas U.S. research combines the approaches of physics, quantum electrodynamics, and aerodynamics, Soviet laser research is heavily--and expertly--oriented to understanding the chemical reactions. They prefer pulsed to cw systems, concentrating on kinetics of vibrationally excited diatomic systems. The documents studies gas lasers with discharge, photolytic, and other initiation and includes research on HN3+CO2 mixtures and studying means of controlling reaction rates by resonant coupling and selective heating. The report also proposes a laser based on photorecombination of atoms. (Author).

Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports


Book Description

Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.




Bibilography of Soviet Laser Developments


Book Description

The report covers the first quarter of 1972 with the major yield of information coming from the approximately 30 periodicals known to report the most advanced and interesting findings in Soviet laser technology. This as well as the previous reports covers the following topics: (1) laser research--solid state, liquid, gas and chemical lasers; UV; components; nonlinear optics; spectroscopy of laser materials; short pulse generation; crystal growing; and general theory; (2) laser applications--biological effects, communications, computer technology, holography, instrumentation, materials processing, and plasma generation.
