Abstract

Kemijski laseri su jedna od vrsta lasera koji su doživjeli procvat 80-tih godina prošlog stoljeća. Nakon otkrića prvog lasera 1960-te godine, želja za poboljšanjem i unaprijeđivanjem potaknula je mnoge fizičare, kemičare i kemijske inženjere na razvoj. U 20-tak godina razvijeno je nekoliko značajnih kemijskih lasera, a to su COIL, AGIL, H-F i D-F laser. Pojedinačno su promatrana svojstva tih lasera, tumačen im je rad i uočene su prednosti i nedostaci pojedinog lasera. Iako su u to vrijeme pokazivali izuzetna svojstva u smislu izlazne snage koja su dostizala nekoliko megavata, danas su gotovo istisnuti iz uporabe. Pretežno su bili korišteni u vojne svrhe, ali zbog svoje neisplativosti, prvenstveno zbog skupih i toksičnih kemikalija kojim su pogonjeni, mnogi projekti su obustavljeni.

Abstract (english)

One of the species of lasers are chemical lasers that were extensivily developed in the 1980s. After the discovery of the first laser in 1960, the desire for improvement and advancement prompted many physicists, chemists, and chemical engineers to develop them. In about 20 years, several significant chemical lasers have been developed, namely COIL, AGIL, H-F and D-F laser. The properties of these lasers were observed individually, their work was interpreted and the advantages and disadvantages of each laser were observed. Although at that time they showed distinct properties in terms of power output reaching several megawatts, today they are almost diminished out of use. They were mostly used for military purposes, but due to their unprofitability, expensive and toxic chemicals used to power these lasers, many projects have been discontinued.
