Abstract
A gas dynamic laser is formed having a combustor with a cylindrical combustion chamber, said combustion chamber is formed having a discharge opening at one end and primary injection means at the other end with a plurality of injector tubes for injecting a combustible mixture into said combustion chamber; an igniter is included for igniting said mixture; a secondary injection means is located adjacent the discharge opening and has a plurality of nozzle tubes for injecting an oxidizer, one nozzle tube being included for each injector tube; each cooperating nozzle tube and injector tube being axially aligned, with said nozzle tubes directing the oxidizer towards the injector tubes, a mixing chamber being located downstream of the secondary injection means for directing the gases to a nozzle array. The secondary injection means is constructed to have easy accessibility to the nozzle tubes.
