Investigation of Controlled Pulse Laser Techniques

Abstract

The major achievements accomplished during work on Annex C are: (1) development of an improved controlled pulse laser oscillator which does not require an external optical feedback loop; (2) design, construction, and test of a controlled pulse laser oscillator-amplifier device which yielded energy output up to 30 joules in an 8-microsecond pulse; (3) based upon the low energy controlled pulse laser oscillator amplifier device design and test results, a design was completed for a high energy (in excess of 600-joule output) controlled pulse laser oscillator-amplifier device.
