High Power CO Laser

Abstract

The first six month effort on the High Power CO Laser Program is reviewed. The program is directed toward the development of the required CO laser technology, the required component technology and the design and construction of intermediate power laser devices. The results of analytical and experimental investigation of the basic characteristics of the laser are reviewed and initial data from a high pressure electrically excited CO laser device are discussed.
