PROCESS OF PREPARING A LASABLE GASEOUS MIXTURE

摘要

A process of preparing a lasable gaseous mixture for use in and operation of flowing gas lasers, particularly electron beamsustainer carbon dioxide lasers, comprising burning a hydrocarbon fuel to produce substantially oxygen free products of combustion, removing undesirable constituents to leave a gaseous mixture which can support laser oscillation comprising substantially only carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen, collecting the resulting gaseous mixture, and thereafter supplying and using it as the active medium in a flowing gas laser.
