High Energy Laser (HEL) Enabling Technologies for Tactical Directed Energy Weapons

Abstract

Investigate novel solid-state laser concepts, architectures, and components in support of the Army's HEL weapons strategy. Develop innovative laser gain materials with much improved spectral, thermal, thermo-mechanical, and thermo-optical properties. Develop increased power while reducing size and weight, and complexity of all HEL components.
