The Impact of Adaptive Aperture Techniques on HEL System Effectiveness,

Abstract

The briefing describes and discusses alternative components for a generic adaptive aperture system, outlines and analyzes qualitatively the many phenomena which suppress the far-field intensity of a laser system, and explains the potential of adaptive aperture techniques for restoring near-diffraction-limited intensity.
