Modular Incoherent CO2 TEA Lasers.

Abstract

Two pulsed 10-micron transmitter systems were designed, fabricated and tested, one for use in cross-wind sensor applications, and one for target designator applications. The goal of the Incoherent TEA laser effort was to make these units capable of the required optical and electrical performance characteristics with total system lifetimes of a few million pulses.
