Gas dynamic lasers can be pumped by combustion or adiabatic expansion of gas.
2.
HNB was experimentally used as a gas source for explosively pumped gas dynamic laser.
3.
Most existing weaponized lasers are gas dynamic lasers.
4.
Like hexanitrobenzene, HNE is investigated as a gas source for explosively pumped gas dynamic laser.
5.
Pure gas dynamic lasers usually use a combustion chamber, supersonic expansion nozzle, and laser medium.
6.
The "'explosively pumped gas dynamic laser "'is a version of GDL pumped by expansion of explosion products.
7.
The power needed to project a high-powered laser beam of this kind is beyond the limit of current mobile power technology, thus favoring chemically powered gas dynamic lasers.
8.
In this application, HNB and tetranitromethane are preferred to more conventional explosives because the explosion products CO 2 and N 2 are a simple enough mixture to simulate gas dynamic processes and quite similar to conventional gas dynamic laser medium.
9.
He discovered and patented the noble gas ( argon, krypton, xenon ) ion lasers in 1964, lasers that are still around 50 years later ( in DNA sequencers, cell sorters, eye surgery, and at laser light shows . ) He worked on many projects using lasers : an airborne night reconnaissance system ( AN / AVD-3 ), space communications systems, early high power laser weapons ( the carbon dioxide gas dynamic laser, now extinct ), hydrogen maser clocks for the global positioning system.
