✦ Synopsis

We measured the HF Iaser energy output of a pulsed chemical laser as a function of pressure and mixing ratio for various mixtures of IF, and H, . A pulsed electron beam was used to initiate the chemicxI reaction. We found that the laser energy output peaks at approximately 100 torr for a wide we of mixing ratios.
