摘要： An integrated dual source recycling system for a chemical oxygen-iodine laser system is described. The recycling system primarily includes: (1) a first collection system for collecting an amount of spent basic hydrogen peroxide comprised of spent aqueous potassium chloride; and (2) a second collection system for collecting an amount of the spent laser exhaust gas. Several processing systems are also employed to convert the spent aqueous potassium chloride and the spent laser exhaust gas into hydrogen peroxide and potassium hydroxide which are mixed together to form fresh basic hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, the spent laser exhaust gas is recycled back into molecular nitrogen, molecular iodine, molecular oxygen, and molecular chlorine.

摘要： The Synchronized Photo-pulse Detonation (SPD) method employs several fundamental techniques that are able to dramatically improve the kill-ratio of Laser Supported Detonation (LSD) of hostile targets, such as: missiles, aircraft, ships, and other land based targets, all the while reducing the chemical energy consumption and time needed per kill by thousands of times, thus making its deployment cost effective. The SPD to use 2 (two) synchronized laser pulses to create a Laser Supported Detonation Wave (LSDW) in a mixture of target vapors and atmospheric air. The first pulse creates an ignition plasma spark (in a mixture of air and target vapors), while the second (higher powered) pulse serves to create and support a shock wave from the heated plasma. This shock wave heats the surrounding air layer (mixture of air and target vapors) so that it begins to absorb the laser beam and to create from itself the next plasma layer with the formation of a new shock wave. The several thousands of tons of force generated by the LSDW are more than capable of destroying any object, such as an ICBM, aircraft, or build.

摘要： A laser beam source and an operating method thereof is provided for a directional infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) weapon system for defensively countering guided missiles having infrared seeking heads, by directing an infrared laser beam at the guided missile so as to disorient, saturate, or irreversibly destroy the IR detectors and circuitry arranged in the target seeking head. The power, pulse frequency and spectral composition of the laser beam is adjustable and selectable as required to adapt to any particular defensive engagement. To achieve this, the laser beam source comprises an Nd:YAG pumping laser and an optical parametric oscillator including an oscillator crystal arranged in a resonator cavity. The crystal includes a plurality of different periodically polarized crystal zones having different lattice constants. The adjacent zones can be grouped together into selectable crystal zone groups. The beam cross-section of the pumping laser beam corresponds to the cross-section of a single crystal zone or of a crystal zone group encompassing plural zones. The crystal is arranged on a slide table that is slidably displaceable by a servomotor, to move a selected crystal zone or group into the path of the pumping laser beam. Thereby the wavelength components and the relative intensities thereof of the output laser beam can easily be selectively adjusted.

摘要： A scalable high power laser system includes a plurality of parallel connected modular power amplifier arms, coupled to a common master oscillator to provide a high average power laser system with a scalable output power level, particularly suitable for laser weapon systems with varying power level output applications. Adaptive optics devices are provided in order to provide pre-compensation of phase front distortions due to the modular amplifier arms as well as encode the wave front of the laser beam with a phase conjugate of atmospheric aberrations.

摘要： An attack missile is disabled during its travel through atmospheric regions, enroute to a selected target, by directing, with the aid of a pointer tracker, a first continuous wave laser beam produced by a chemical laser from a first location through the atmosphere onto a given area of the missile to release radiant heating energy in the given area; and simultaneously directing, with the aid of another pointer tracker, a second continuous wave laser beam produced by a second chemical laser from a second location through the atmosphere onto the same given area of the missile to release radiant heating energy in the given area. The beams are arranged so that there is no material overlap between the laser beams enroute to the missile. Over a short duration the laser beams release a combined radiant heating energy on the given area of the missile sufficient in amount to at least damage a portion of the given area of said missile, resulting in the missile's destruction.

摘要： An airborne laser weapon system is divided into a ground-based unit and an airborne unit. The relatively heavy components of the laser weapon system, such as the generator, cooling elements with cooling fluid, accumulators, pump diodes, beam couplers and the control station for an operator, are concentrated and/or arranged in the ground-based part. The relatively lightweight components and/or those that ultimately determine the quality of the laser beam, such as active laser element(s), in particular the output stage(s) thereof, the focusing drive, the telescope and the necessary sensors, may be provided on the airborne platform and may be connected by means of a relatively long, e.g. multiple kilometers, optical waveguide to the ground-based part.
