  • ULTRA-SHORT PULSE MID AND LONG WAVE INFRARED LASER
    Publication number: 20220173568
    Abstract: The system and method of using an ultra-short pulse mid and long wave infrared laser. The system is seeded with a 2 ?m laser source having a pulse duration in the femtosecond range. The beam is stretched, to increase the pulse duration, and the beam is amplified, to increase an energy level of the laser beam. Both mid wave IR and long wave IR seed beams are first generated, and then amplified via one or more optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification stages. A compressor may be used to compress one or more of the output beams to achieve high peak power and controllable pulse duration in the output beams. The output beams may then be used to create atmospheric or material effects at km range.
