Liquid coolants and optical filters for laser-, light-, and electronic technologies

Abstract

Liquids used for cooling, filtration and transformation of radiation in laser pump systems, projection TV sets and IR searchlights were described. The most effective liquid types were shown. Specific features of physical and physico- chemical processes at resonant and non-resonant interaction of broadband radiation with liquid were point out. It is demonstrated that, by an appropriate choice of the composition of liquid cooling agents and conditions of cooling, one can increase the efficiency and service time of the liquid-cooling devices.
