METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MIXING GASES WITHIN SUPERSONIC LASER Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H01S3/36 B01F3/02 

FIELD: quantum electronics; supersonic gas-mixing lasers including gas-dynamic and chemical lasers.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes supply of energy-carrying gas to supersonic nozzle and injection of radiating gas in the form of supersonic wakes into supersonic region of nozzle. Outer surfaces of wakes are screwed. Proposed device for mixing gases within supersonic laser has supersonic nozzle and injector connected to energy-carrying and radiating-gas sources, respectively. Injection holes receive pipes whose outlet openings are uniformly disposed on cross-section of nozzle supersonic region and are arranged along nozzle longitudinal axis. Outlet ends of injector pipes are made in the form of screw-shaped lugs disposed along outer surface of wakes being injected. Lugs can be made in the form of separate headpieces mounted on outlet ends of injector pipes.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of transferring laser energy stored by energy-carrying and radiating gas molecules which enhances laser efficiency.
