  • Abstract
    A high power, short pulse CO2laser system has been constructed for target irradiation and materials damage studies at 10.6 µm. The system consists of a low energy short pulse CO2oscillator followed by a series of high gain amplifiers. Output energies of 30 J in a nanosecond pulse have been achieved.
