Abstract
A chemical laser including a laser pump which is relativey lightweight with no moving parts is provided. This produces a low pressure, regenerable, closed system for treating laser cavity exhaust gases to remove (i.e., pump) them from the system. The exhaust gases which emerge from the laser cavity of the chemical laser are pumped by reacting them preferably with titanium, titanium-zirconium alloys, zirconium, tantalum, etc. These gases include hydrogen, deuterium and their halides, the halogens, oxygen, CO.sub.2, nitrogen and H.sub.2 O. This obviates the requirements for heavy equipment normally employed to produce a high vacuum in the laser cavity.
