Research abstract
RadiaBeam Technologies proposes to develop a non-lethal, long-range laser induced plasma system capable of producing outputs comparable to existing flashbang systems. The proposed Mid-Infrared Laser Induced Flashbang system (MILI-Flash) is based on a novel double-pulse scheme, where an ultra-short igniter pulse ionizes the air, followed by longer pulse that efficiently heats the plasma to produce the desired out-put. The laser system operates in a retina-safe wavelength range (1.4 to 2.3 m), and is based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA).
