Gasdynamic Lasers:Theory Experiment and the State of the Art.

摘要

A set of lecture notes is presented for use in a course on Gasdynamic Lasers. The subject matter includes Physics considerations,calculation of gasdynamic laser performance,comparison between theory and experiment,optical cavity considerations and fluid-dynamic problems. The approach is to present the basic physics and aerodynamics leading to actual ability to design a gasdynamic laser.
