Abstract

An improved energy conversion device for converting the energy carried by a laser beam to kinetic energy of a working fluid transparent to the laser radiation incorporates a seed gas having a relatively low dissociation temperature. The beam is focused to a beam spot the maximum diameter of which depends on the total power of the beam.
