Painter

Abstract

The Painter program seeks to create revolutionary advancements in laser technologies for future active optical systems. Painter will translate efficiency benefits from critical laser components into compact optical sources. The objective of Painter is to simultaneously increase the power and decrease the size of laser sources compared to state of the art. Aggressive packaging objectives will be met by overcoming the thermal management challenges of state-of-the-art lasers. Painter development is guided and constrained by spectral properties required to support multiple mission applications. Technologies from Painter will transition to the Services.
