Evaluation of Spatial Filtering as a Means for Increasing Optical Performance in High Power Beam Trains

Abstract

This report consists of annotated vugraphs covering objectives of the subtask statement. The major results on the effectiveness of spatial filtering on highly nonuniform intensity distributions in high power laser beam trains should be of general interest to the optics community at large and will, upon proper authorization, be submitted for journal publication in the open literature.
