The development of a high average power glass laser source
Abstract
During August, 1981, work was concentrated primarily in the area of selective filtering. Dr. Rapp has been retained as a consultant. His credentials are impeccable; he is the inventor of ED-2 and other silicate and phosphate laser glass. He also has extensive research experience in rare-earth doped glasses, sensitization schemes, and other such areas of quantum electronics and glass science. The same format dealing with the following efforts: (1) Q-100 Property Measurements; (2) the Cladding of Q-100; (3) Selective Filtering and/or Energy Transfer to reduce Thermal Loading; (4) Glass Strengthening; and (5) Alternate Pump Sources.
