Coupled High Power Waveguide Laser Research.
Abstract
The objective of this program is to study, both from an experimental and theoretical perspective, coupled with power CO2 waveguide lasers. This study is concerned with, but not limited to, hollow-bore ridge waveguide laser arrays. The ability to achieve phase-locked operation of two-and three-element under a previous AFOSR contact. In the present program, we are exploring the scalability of the hollow-bore ridge waveguide array concept to larger linear arrays and two-dimensional arrays. This being accomplished by fabricating, operating and characterizing a variety of laser arrays and by conducting analyses to help interpret the observed operational characteristics and point the way to improvements in the performance of the laser arrays.
