✦ Synopsis

CHEM[CAL PHYSiCS LE-I?XRS t&O laser gG.n profiles in 2 low-pressure Naatalyzed QO-CO tr3_nsV~rS+f?ow citemi'cal hser have been measured for a variety of fIow conditions. The sm&-sigz! @n depends on the CO&O ratio with a maximum of zbbaut 0.005 cm-' rneasuretl to (late. Andysis of emission spec;ra 2nd computer modelking of the gain profiles indicate that 15-20% of the chemicill energy is availabic for laso: pumping, yielding B specific hscr energy of approximately 210 J/mole of mixtcre.
