4.5 Micron Laser Source

Abstract

This report documents efforts attempted at producing continuous (cw) laser power at 4.5 microns. Silver Galium Selenide (AgGaSe2) was used to frequency double a 9.0 micron C02 laser. Milliwatts of cw 4.5 micron power were reported. CW damage threshold experiments of AgGaSe2 at 9.0 microns were also conducted.
