A system for preparing excited molecular oxygen in the excited singlet-delta electronic state for use in a chemical laser that minimizes salt formation utilizing the common ion effect. In one version, basic hydrogen peroxide is formed by combining H2O2 and at least two bases. In another version of the invention, the basic hydrogen peroxide is reacted with a gas containing at least two halogen species.

A method for preparing excited molecular oxygen in the excited singlet-delta electronic state for use as an energizing reactant for a chemical laser, the method comprising the steps of: a) combining H2O2 and at least one base to form a reaction mixture containing basic hydrogen peroxide, the base being selected from the group consisting of alkali metal bases, alkaline earth metal bases, and nitrogen containing bases, the total amount of base being no more than one mole per mole of H2O2; and b) introducing the basic hydrogen peroxide into a gas containing at least two halogen species, X1 and X2, selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, and bromine chloride to produce the excited molecular oxygen, the molar ratio of X1 to X2 being from about 3:1 to about 1:1.
