Solid-state Laser Concepts and Architectures
Abstract
This Project provides the research and development of advanced solid-state laser materials and architectures to support the Army Directed Energy Strategy for laser-based directed energy (DE) weapons. This Project investigates advanced laser technologies based on unconventional solid-state laser concepts and designs, scalable and intelligent power modules, and advanced thermal management systems for the development of less complex, low size, weight, and power (SWaP) Army DE weapons and tactical lasers with much improved capabilities. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command (AFC).
