Abstract
The efficiency of a chemically fuelled laser with regenerative cooling of its combustion chamber is increased by using the fuels as coolant in the diffuser. The heat resulting from this cooling in the diffuser is supplied in a regenerative manner to the combustion chamber or rather to the laser gas.
