Abstract:
The influence of gas temperature on the characteristics of a self-sustained volume discharge was studied in the working mixtures of a chemical oxygen – iodine laser with pulsed electricdischarge production of iodine atoms. In experiments, laser working mixtures were modelled by the mixture of air and iodide C2H5I. It was established that mixture heating is accompanied by an increase in the voltage across the discharge plasma and by a decrease in the discharge current. By varying the temperature of the mixture with the iodine content of ~2.7% and initial pressure p = 12 Torr from 22 °C to 96 °C, the current amplitude falls by ~12%, and at the instant corresponding to a maximal current the voltage raises by ~22%. Such a change in the discharge characteristics is explained by a higher rate of electron attachment to vibrationally excited iodide molecules at elevated temperatures.
Keywords:
repetitively pulsed chemical oxygen – iodine laser, selfsustained volume discharge, critical reduced electric field.
