Abstract

A Raman scattering system was used to measure the O₂ (a¹Δ) yield and the chlorine utilization in a singlet oxygen generator of chemical oxygen iodine laser with nitrogen diluent. We present the results from the tests that conducted on a 0.1-mol/s jet-type singlet oxygen-iodine generator. On the basis of the current reported uncertainty of the Raman cross section, the error in the yield measurement is calculated to be less than 8%, and the error of the chlorine utilization is 12%.
