Abstract

Usage of iodine atoms instead of molecules in oxygen-iodine laser permits to expand its range of operation parameters and improve the weight per power ratio. Results of experiments and modeling of plasma chemistry processes resulting in CH₃I dissociation in a planar 40 MHz discharge are presented, showing that addition of oxygen or water into Ar:He:CH₃I mixtures can lead to a noticeable increase in CH₃I dissociation rate and inhibit iodine recombination during transport.
