Research and Development on High Power Laser Problems.

Abstract

This final technical report shows the results of research and development of work conducted by Systems Research Laboratories, Inc.'s personnel in the facilities of the Air Force Avionics Laboratories, Laser Technology Research (TEL), in the following areas: Catalyzed CO2 laser, Low power optical lasers, Solid state lasers, Molecular lasers, CO and CO2, Raman-shifted lines of atmospheric gases using a pulsed nitrogen laser, and Vortex tube laser. The experimental details and resulting advancements are reported for each of the first five areas, whereas the vortex laser results were reported separately in AFAL-TR-68-101. (Author)
