Chemical oxygen-iodine laser: aerooptics and gas dynamics

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

We have investigated the interaction of regular and irregular structures — systems of shock waves, rarefaction waves, and turbulent layers — in a chemical oxygen-iodine laser.
