Prospects for the use of solid-state nitrogen generators to create periodic-action iodine-oxygen laser

In this paper we assessed the prospects of using low-temperature solid-state nitrogen generators in the two-stage scheme to obtain high-temperature nitrogen for the construction of molecular generator of iodine. The power characteristics of metals IV–V of the periodic system, used for heating the low-temperature nitrogen due to heat reactions of nitrides origin were analyzed. Based on the experimental results on the filtration combustion of metals in nitrogen, the estimates of operating characteristics of two-stage generator working body of periodic-action iodine-oxygen laser were made. It was shown for heating nitrogen to high temperatures using of titanium is preferable.
