Abstract

A chemical laser includes a removable feed cartridge for separately supplying reactants and diluent to a combustion chamber and a laser gain region for creating a laser medium with a population inversion, and a removable pump cartridge for absorbing heat and removing effluent gases from the laser gain region at a rate sufficient to sustain CW laser operation, the arrangement being such that operating pressures in the laser are maintained when the cartridges are removed. Used as a portable weapon, or a device for target designation, infrared surveillance, range finding, jamming and blinding infrared optical devices, optical devices, optical intelligence etc. The portable device gives safe handling of waste heat and gases without danger to operator.
