Kinds of Chemical Lasers

With all the different categories of lasers that have been discovered it can be confusing to know which ones are for what. We learned in a previous post that the Excimer lasers, which are a kind of gas laser, are used for surgical procedures like laser eye surgery. Chemical lasers, though there are not as many different kinds as there are gas or solid-state lasers, have many important uses also. Here is a list of the different kinds of chemical lasers and their practical uses:

• Hydrogen fluoride lasers- mainly being used in research for laser weaponry applications.
• Deuterium fluoride lasers- also used as a military weaponry application in various ways.
• Chemical oxygen iodine lasers- used as a kind of laser weapon, scientific research, and materials research.

As you can see, chemical lasers are mainly used as a kind of weapon-based defense and offense system for the military because of their abilities to produce very high power ratings and because of their chemical composures. These kinds of lasers help the military stay ahead of their enemies by using more advanced weaponry techniques. These are very dangerous lasers and can only be used with the right knowledge and equipment.
