This application discloses a laser which is free from dependence on oxygen atom dissociators and does not require any electrical input. It is a purely chemical CO laser. This invention discloses a laser in which the combustion is fueled by a suitable fuel-oxidizer, e.g., CH4-H2-CS2-NF3, which dissociates the CS2 into CS and S. The S atoms are generated in the combustor to initiate the chain reaction sequence in which the S,O2 and CS react so that all of the CS is converted to excited CO which lases in the optical cavity.
