Analysis of the kinetic model of iodine photodissociation laser under free-oscillation conditions

An analysis is made of the kinetic model of the iodine photodissociation laser operating under freeoscillation conditions. It is shown that the laser parameters are strongly influenced by the reactions of radicals with iodine atoms which depopulate the lower laser level and regenerate the original working substance. Analytic formulas are obtained for the time dependences of the output power and concentrations of various components of the working medium. The potentialities of the iodine laser are considered allowing for pyrolysis.
