Support structures for optical components in the Laser Demonstration Facility
Abstract
The laser system in the Laser Demonstration Facility is mounted on an array of 108 support columns. This milestone report describes the design, analyses, testing, fabrication, installation, and performance characteristics of these supports. The supports were judged to be an effective and economical approach to mounting a large scale laser system.
