Research abstract
Current state of the art tracking Illuminator lasers are insufficient for a wide variety of expected high energy laser weapon system engagements.A tracking Illuminator laser with variable pulse parameters is desired to achieve constant radiometric conditions in the return scattered light from a target to a tracking sensor. We propose to develop a fiber laser system in the 1.55 micron spectral band capable of generating greater than 50 to 300mJ pulse energy, 5 to 50ns pulse width, 500Hz to 5kHz repetition rate, beam quality M2<1.3, and coherence length <1cm . This proposed laser development is based upon our proprietary high-efficiency high-gain Er-doped glass fiber technology.
