The primary objective of the study was to determine the effect of the optical resonator magnification and centerline location on the near-field output power from a cw chemical laser. Geometric optics are used. The flowing gain medium is assumed to be adjacent to one of the resonator mirrors. Analytic solutions are obtained in the limits M $Yields$ 1 and M much greater than 1, where M is cavity magnification. Effects of resonator and laser medium parameters on laser output power are then discussed. Turbulent and laminar diffusion is considered. (TFD)
