"CHIBIS" LASER FACILITY |
|
Purpose:
Studies on the delivery of high-power laser radiation through the atmosphere are based on:
- methods for compensation of laser beam distortions using linear and nonlinear adaptive optics (phase conjugation, dynamic holography)
- the ability to build optical systems developed for a variety of scientific applications
- algorithms to optimize the delivery of high-power radiation through a real atmosphere
Facility includes:
- e-beam-sustained repetitively-pulsed CO2
- power supply system
- gas supply system
- measuring system
