Research abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop coatings for use inside of the gain cavity of next generation Diode Pumped Alkali Lasers (DPALs). These coatings will be applied to transparent surfaces of the cavity used to couple the pump energy into the gain media and allow the transmission of the alkali lasing wavelength. Both of these benefits will improve DPAL performance and extend lifetime. Acree Technologies Incorporated"s extensive experience in the design of coatings for harsh environments and coating capability provides a unique combination for successful completion of this important work. Approved for Public Release 14-MDA-7739 (18 March 14).
