Singlet delta oxygen generation for Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Lasers

The development of Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Lasers is based on the generation of singlet delta oxygen. To improve the overall efficiency of these lasers, it is necessary to increase the generator production and yield of singlet delta oxygen at low and high pressure, respectively, for subsonic and supersonic lasers. Furthermore, the water vapor content must be as low as possible. A generator model, based on gas-liquid reaction and liquid-vapor equilibrium theories associated with thermophysical evaluations is presented. From model predictions, operating conditions have been drawn to attain the following experimental results in a bubble-column: by increasing the superficial gas velocity, the production of singlet delta oxygen is largely improved at low pressure; by mixing chlorine with an inert gas before injection in the reactor, this yield is maintained constant up to higher pressure. A theoretical analysis of these experimental results and their consequences for both subsonic and supersonic lasers are presented.This work was performed with the support of the Direction des Recherches, Etudes et Techniques.

Dissociation of molecular iodine in RF discharge for oxygen-iodine lasers

The dissociation of molecular iodine in 40 MHz-RF discharge was studied experimentally. This generation of atomic iodine is aimed at use in oxygen-iodine lasers. The discharge was ignited in a mixture of I₂ + buffer gas fast-flowing through the cylindrical chamber and the discharge products were injected into a supersonic flow of nitrogen. The atomic iodine number density was measured in a low-pressure cavity after mixing with nitrogen and the dissociation fraction was calculated related to the input I₂ flow rate. The dissociation fraction of 46.2% was achieved at 0.22 mmol/s of I₂ and 7 mmol/s of Ar and RF power of 500 W. Argon and helium were used as a buffer gas; discharge stability and dissociation efficiency were better with argon. At the I₂ flow rate corresponding to the operation of a 1 kW chemical oxygen-iodine laser, the dissociation fraction was about 20%. The dissociation efficiency (the fraction of absorbed energy used for the dissociation) significantly decreased with increasing in the specific energy. At a reasonable I₂ flow rate (0.32 mmol/s), the maximum achieved efficiency was 8.5% and the corresponding energy cost was 8.9 eV per dissociating of one I₂ molecule. The input energy of more than 3 kJ per 1 mmol of I₂ is needed for dissociating at least 50% of I₂. The obtained dependencies on the gas flow rates infer a good chance for scaling-up of the tested RF discharge generator for the intended application.

Optically (solar) pumped oxygen-iodine lasers

We present the results of theoretical and experimental studies demonstrating the possibility of developing an oxygen-iodine laser (OIL) with direct optical pumping of molecular oxygen involving inter-molecular interaction with charge transfer from donor molecule (buffer gas) to acceptor molecule (oxygen). This interaction lifts degeneracy of the lower energy states of molecular oxygen and increases its absorption cross section in the visible spectral region and the UV Herzberg band, where high quantum yield of singlet oxygen is achieved (QY ～ 1 and QY ～ 2, respectively) at the same time. A pulse-periodic optical pump sources with pulse energy of ～50 kJ, pulse duration of ～25 μs, and repetition rate of ～10 Hz, which are synchronized with the mechanism of singlet oxygen generation, are developed. This allows implementation of a pulse-periodic oxygen-iodine laser with an efficiency of ～25%, optical efficiency of ～40%, and parameter L/T ～ 1/1.5, where T is the thermal energy released in the laser active medium upon generation of energy L. It is demonstrated that, under direct solar pumping of molecular oxygen, the efficiency parameter of the OIL can reach L/T ～ 1/0.8 in a wide range of scaling factors.

 通过采用Cl₂流量250mmol/s列管射流式氧发生器的COIL出光实验，得到了激光输出功率随碘副气流相对于氧主气流混合穿透深度的变化规律。实验结果表明，穿透深度对激光功率影响较大，存在最佳穿透深度，约为3.16mm,计算的最佳穿透深度与实验得到的最佳穿透深度基本一致。通过逐步改变供碘系统的碘气流流量，测量激光的输出功率，在实验上证实并找到了COIL的最佳碘流量值，约为4.5mmol/s，这一结果比以往文献所登载的最佳碘流量值要确切。     

High-pressure subsonic mode operation of chemical oxygen-iodine laser

A new regime of chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL), high-pressure subsonic mode operation, was demonstrated using a jet-type singlet oxygen generator (SOG). The laser output power of 342 W with chemical efficiency of 20.9% was obtained at the Cl₂ flow rate of 18 mmol/s and the operating pressure of 6.4 Torr in the laser cavity. The specific energy was 3.1 J/l which was four times higher than our supersonic device, and was comparable to the highest value for the supersonic regime. The experimental results were in good agreement with the numerical simulation results. Received: 26 February 1999 / Revised version: 13 July 1999 / Published online: 30 November 1999     

Supersonic COIL with angular jet singlet oxygen generator

Supersonic Chemical Oxy-iodine Laser has been developed using a Singlet Oxygen Generator (SOG) with a novel approach. Generated singlet oxygen is taken out of the SOG at an angle of 40° to avoid the problem of carry over of droplets, which is one of the major drawbacks of horizontal system. The system has been operated up to 22 mmol/s chlorine flow rates. Chlorine utilization and singlet oxygen observed have been more than 90% and 60%, respectively. The observed maximum output power was 350 W, thus yielding a chemical efficiency of 17.5%.
