DARPA-NRL Laser Program Annual Technical Report to Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

Abstract

The DARPA-NRL program is concerned with the development of laser technology. The basic physics of the XeCl laser have been examined theoretically and experimentally. The basic physics behind the improved performance of the XeF laser at elevated temperature is reported. The limitations of the Kr2F* laser have been studied. Preliminary experiments involving two other promising visible lasers (HgBr, XeF(C to A transition)) are reported.
