Abstract: High power flowing medium chemical laser have apparently achieved significant level power levels capable of target destruction. Few flowing medium lasers are still working towards these power levels and are at various stages of development. All Liquid medium lasers employing aprotic liquid, Lewis acid and rare earth ions termed as Liquid Laser (LL) are one amongst them. Development of these lasers essentially requires in depth understanding of multiple disciplines with overlapping influences. Safe operation of Liquid Laser is a critical concern, which needs to be sufficiently addressed prior to laser experimentation. This entails not only safe handling of subsystems, but also safety of human being/operator from any potential hazards posed by the chemicals employed in the laser system. The present paper discusses both manual and automatic safety schemes using suitable acquisition and control system for flowing medium Liquid laser.
