Summary of the Aerospace Corporation Chemical Laser Program, 1968 - 1980.
Abstract
The applied research work since 1968 of Aerophysics Laboratory personnel in high-energy laser-related technology areas is summarized. The results are primarily concerned with hydrogen halide chemical lasers. The eight principal technology areas identified are hydrogen halide laser devices, hydrogen halide chemical kinetics (neutrals), pulsed hydrogen fluoride, HF (and deuterium fluoride, DF) lasers, fluid dynamics -- CW HF (DF) supersonic diffusion lasers, laser device optics, short wavelength lasers, diagnostics - instrumentation/test techniques, and special studies; several subdivisions are given for each area. A comprehensive Bibliography and a list of laser related inventions are presented; these are cross-referenced to the technology areas and their subdivisions. The experimental and computer capabilities of the Laboratory are described briefly. (Author)
