Abstract

The kinetics model of chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) active medium taking into account EE, EV, VV, VT energy transfer processes was proposed. The O₂ molecule distribution on the vibrational levels in COIL was calculated. It is suggested that the involving of vibrationally excited O₂(a) into pooling reaction can increase the rate of stored in singlet oxygen electronic energy in COIL medium. Approximately 50% of relaxed O₂(a) energy transfers into thermal energy.
