The influence of HO2- concentration on the utilization of Cl2 and the power of the COIL

Both of the theoretical calculation and the experimental measurement were performed on the concentration of HO2- in the BHP (basic hydrogen peroxide) solution of the COIL. The variation rule of HO2- concentration versus the ratio of KOH & H2O2 was obtained. The experiments for the influence of HO2- concentration on the utilization of Cl2 and the laser output power were performed. The results were valuable for the optimization of the BHP makeup and the experimental parameters.
