A method for analysis of blackbody diatomic-triatomic lasersA formalism is developed for analysis of performance of direct blackbody and blackbody transfer lasers. Application to the CO/CO2 system is made. Three cases are treated: (1) Photoexcited triatomic laser; (2) Photoexcited diatomic-triatomic laser; and (3) Photoexcited diatomic mixing triatomic laser. Each is treated in a transverse flow geometry as illustrated. It is seen from the analysis that the mixing laser configuration has many advantages in that CO can achieve high excitation densities so that high power can be achieved on a relatively small scale.
