DARPA-NRL Laser Program - Semiannual Technical Report to Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, 1 January 1976 - 30 June 1976

Abstract

The DARPA-NRL Laser Program is concerned with the development of laser technology with the emphasis on electronic state lasers and the associated physics. Electrically excited infrared lasers and intramolecular energy transfer are also being studied. Progress is reported in all areas with the major highlights being (1) the observation of quasi-CW lasing in XeF (2) the discovery of the KrCl laser at 223 nm (3) advancement of discharge-pumped rare- gas halide lasers and their understanding, and (4) improvements in the performance of the CO-C2H2 and CO-CS2 energy transfer lasers which are being studied in the electric-discharge gasdynamic laser facility.
