Calculation of the energy and spectral characteristics of a supersonic electron-beam-sustained CO laser with periodic cavityQ-switching

Laser Propulsion Market-Creating Innovation

“…[10][11][12] While construction of the full-scale 1 MW average power technological supersonic CO laser prototype (further referred to as CODL) is still in progress, the theoretical research produced the mathematical modeling and simulations of the CODL operation in CW and Q-switched modes, followed by the plausible estimates of its operation under various conditions, including the multi-MW laser design. [13][14][15][16][17] By the wide scope of its technological capabilities, CODL can be classified as a key enabling technology.…”
