Nd:YAG Laser Lab Experiments

Abstract

A compilation of the unclassified Nd:YAG laser lab experiments and related analyses performed in the Laser Designator/Rangefinder Branch, Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, Calif., during the period October 1970-December 1971 is presented. The Nd:YAG laser lab was initiated by the author in October 1970 and, hence, some of the tests performed were necessarily of an introductory nature. To expedite the preparation of this report, the author's memoranda with only minor modifications are provided as appendixes.
