Research abstract
IN THE PROGRAM PROPOSED HERE WE INTEND TO DEMONSTRATE COHERENT BEAM ADDITION OF TWO SINGLE-AXIAL-MODE ND LASERS OPERATING AT 1.06 MICRONS. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS WORK IS THE DEMONSTRATION OF PHASE-LOCKING EMPLOYING A WELL-DEVELOPED SOLID-STATE LASER MATERIAL, WHICH HAS BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY AS A CW SOURCE AT 1 MICRON. MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY TO ADVANCED RANGING, TRACKING AND ACTIVE-IMAGING SYSTEMS ARE SIGNIFICANT, GIVEN THE HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED COHERENT DETECTION SYSTEMS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED ONCE A RELIABLE, HIGH POWER, SINGLE-FREQUENCY CW LASER SOURCE IS AVAILABLE AT A 1 MICRON WAVELENGTH.
