Pulsed Laser Component Technologies

Abstract

This effort investigates and miniaturizes key Directed Energy technology components to enable a Laser Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) capability. The LIPC effect uses a short pulse laser to generate a conductive path in the air in which high powered microwaves (HPM) and/or high voltage bursts are channeled to defeat different targets at stand-off.
