Abstract
A combined calculation and experimental method is proposed for selecti on of the optimal chemical composition of the fuel in atomic-fluorine generators for cw chemical HF/DF lasers. The method is based on genera l relationships that govern the efficiency of conversion of the chemic al energy into the laser radiation energy and on generalisation of the results of experimental investigations of lasers of different sizes w ith nozzle arrays of different configurations. Bench tests demonstrate a satisfactory agreement between calculations and experiment.
