Abstract

A computer-controlled small signal gain measurement system has been developed for use on HF/DF chemical laser systems. The probe laser is an electrically initiated continuous wave (CW) HF/DF laser with active frequency stabilization. The probe is run single-line, single-mode with an automatic system for switching from one lasing line to another. The scanning system is designed to allow rapid, two-dimensional scan patterns to be generated in either Cartesian or polar coordinates. The entire system, including the probe laser, scanning system, data acquisition, and data reduction is controlled by a DEC PDP 11/34 minicomputer with a minimum amount of human intervention. The system is now operational and examples of measurements will be presented.
