The CO2 HN3~ laser: design and construction of a molecular laser pumped by photolysis of HN3.
A CO2-HN laser is designed and constructed. The use of hydrazoic acid, being highly explosive and toxic, requires a design where the gas handling and optical systems are located inside a fume hood with exhaust to the outside. The laser utilizes a pumping scheme where energy released by the photolysi...
