Compact High Intensity Radiating Photonics (CHIRP)

Abstract

The Compact High Intensity Radiating Photonics (CHIRP) program will develop compact, high-power lasers. Current high-power lasers are capable of providing the high optical intensities required to achieve directed energy effects, but the size of these lasers limits their ability to be used on or against highly mobile platforms. CHIRP will decrease the size, weight and power (SWaP) of high-power laser sources by employing emerging integrated photonics and amplification techniques. Additionally, CHIRP will develop high-performance components and package these elements employing innovative thermal management strategies.
