An effective single line continuous wave HF chemical laser operation has been demonstrated using a Littrow-mounted diffractive grating cavity experimentally. Selection of spectral lines of the laser was investigated when the grating used as a reflector and an output mirror respectively. The feedback factor of the cavity is demonstrated important parameter of line selection. Output power of single line from grating cavity is obviously stronger than the same line within the full spectrum of the laser that operated without line selection.
