Abstract
The feasibility is investigated of chemical generation of electron-excited molecular nitrogen N2(A, B) and of its use as a donor for the development of short-wave chemical lasers. The spectroscopic and kinetic properties of the molecules as potential acceptors of the excited-nitrogen energy are discussed. The feasibility of producing a chemical N2(A)-IF laser for the visible band (λ = 625 nm) is investigated analytically and numerically. The amplification properties of the active medium are analyzed and the energy characteristics of the laser are calculated.
