CHEMICALLY PUMPED LASER SYSTEM.
Abstract
A summary is given of the state of the art in chemical pumping of lasers, the potential performance by various approaches is evaluated, and the specific approach chosen for further development under this contract is described. The program plan for the remainder of the contract is outlined and progress during the past quarter is described. During this quarter an experimental evaluation of various radiation coupling geometries and window materials led to a successful test in which laser action was produced in a ruby by shock heated xenon. A summary is also given of earlier studies by the Bio-Technology Department of the Philco C and E Division, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, which were directed toward measuring eye damage in monkeys caused by laser irradiation.
