Optics research: 1974:2
Abstract
Research in laser technology, thermal blooming of successive laser pulses, and optical instruments is reviewed. Other topics discussed include multiple-pulse blooming of focused beam in a uniform wind, laboratory experiment on thermal blooming, impulsive loading of targets by high frequency laser pulses, double-pulse pressure and impulse measurements, ballistic pendulum for high-lower laser measurements, laser heating of metallic surfaces, plasma enhancement of thermal coupling to targets, stable CO2 laser measurements, pollution studies, the St. Louis regional air pollution study, and diode laser multi-pollutant ambient-air monitoring.
