Short Wavelength Chemical Laser (SWCL) Workshop
Abstract
The workshop was held for the purpose of identifying the government's interest in SWCL technology, reviewing past and present efforts in this area and presenting the government's plans for a new thrust in SWCL source development. In addition, the workshop was to provide a forum for interaction between members of the Strategic Defense Initiation Organization (SDIO) and the 6.1 agencies with the technical community in order to create an enthusiastic response to the SWCL thrust and to generate new concepts as well as to involve new participants in this technically challenging area. This document contains abstracts of papers presented at the workshops. Some of the topics discussed in the sessions include: HF Lasers - What have we learned?; Chemical Oxygen - Iodine Laser Review; Why So Few Chemical Lasers?; Approach to Efficient Short-Wavelength Chemical Lasers; Metal/Oxidizer Systems; Pyrotechnic Systems; Metastable State Production; Metastable Transfer Systems; Energy Exchange Mechanisms.
