Abstract
The closed cycle solid state optically pumped gas hybrid (chemical recovery) system utilizes a laser diode excited solid state, fiber or bulk, laser as a pump for a molecular gas, or gas mix, medium. The existence of efficient high power laser diode excited solid state fiber or bulk lasers, output spectrally matched to suitable principle and excited level 1st and 2nd overtones of relevant gases, is the enabling system technology. The utilization of such in combination with suitable gases introduces a range of viable, in principle sourcing on laser diodes and thus effectively laser diode pumped, gas laser systems with access to the approximately 3.5 μm to approximately 5.2 μm and approximately 9 μm to approximately 11 μm spectral regions. Continuous wave or pulsed operation, with significant energy capability courtesy of solid state storage, is admitted.
