Chemical Laser Phase Conjugation Technology (CLPCT).
Abstract
The final report for the Chemical Laser Phase Conjugation Technology (CLPCT) project presents the detailed design for an experimental facility for use in future phase conjugation experiments which will be conducted under a separate project. The objective of the CLPCT program was to design a facility that (1) is compatible with the use of an existing 50 liter repetitively HF pulsed chemical laser (RPCL) device and (2) would allow design flexibility/growth potential for other more complex experiments. The detailed design of the facility for the HF Conjugation experiment is described Phase conjugation is developed by the nonlinear optical process wherein the high energy HF chemical laser beam is focused within a stimulated Brillioun scattering (SBS) cell which is filled with xenon at 40 atmospheres. The experimental facility consists of the oscillator subsystem, RPCL subsystem, diagnostics subsystem and phase conjugation subsystem. The detailed design of each subsystem is described. In addition, the conceptual is described. A flowing SBS cell was developed for this experiment.
