Conclusions The present investigations show that, in optimal conditions, the given system may ensure a specific energy supply to the mixture of 300 J/g, with a chemical efficiency of about 13%. Although these indices fall far short of the potential of supersonic chemical HF lasers of diffusional type, nevertheless the fundamental features of lasers of this class (the lack of a combustion chamber, spatial demarcation of the mixing and generation regions, resulting in higher optical homogeneity of the gas medium, etc.) mean that the continuous-action chain chemical HF laser based on a standing detonation wave may be regarded as a very interesting and extremely promising system. The high amplification properties of the active medium allow unstable resonators and resonators with field rotation to be successfully used in such lasers.
