Visible Laser Research One-Meter Device

Abstract

This final report summarizes research results obtained at Avco on a one-meter laser device. This apparatus was originally designed and constructed to be a useful scaling device for evaluation of the performance characteristics of the then recently discovered rare gas halide laser candidates. Subsequently, under this contract, a large number of technical achievements have been attained which have advanced the understanding of various laser systems. These accomplishments have provided DARPA/ONR with very useful information for the evaluation of these lasers for a variety of mission applications.
