Abstract

The experimental performance of a small-scale chemical oxygen-iodine laser is compared to a theoretical model. Measuring the consumption of O₂ (¹Δ_g) in the region of the flame indicates that less than five molecules of O₂ (¹Δ_g) are required to dissociate one I₂ molecule. It is shown that the hyperfine relaxation rates in the iodine atom increase both the laser threshold and the active transverse length of the cavity.
