A study to survey NASA laser applications and identify suitable lasers for specific NASA needs
Abstract
All potential applications of high power lasers which might, in particular, use the JPL copper-halide laser under development were considered for study. A wide range of applications were identified with strong emphasis on remote sensing applications. Power beaming and laser propulsion were also identified as major areas of interest to NASA.
