Comparison of laser models

Abstract

The final phase of modeling solar pumped lasers considers the photodissociation of the perfloralkyl molecules n - C3F7I ,t - C4F9I, and i - C3F7I. Computer modeling was compared to laboratory data and good agreement between theory and experiment was achieved. The following is a summary of the modeling of solar pumped lasers. A perfloride gas enters a tube at a point z = 0 and travels a distance L at a velocity, W, and then exits at the point z = L. During the flow, the gas is solar pumped over the initial distance 0 less than or = z less than or = z sub 0, where z sub 0 is less than or equal to L. The perfloride gas interacts chemically with light and a chain of chemical reactions occur.
