Progress in Alpha laser characterization-1999

The Alpha laser is a hydrogen fluoride laser (2.7 /spl mu/m) that is a ground based testbed for a Space based laser (SBL). Performance of two recent high power tests has been quantified in terms of power, spectra, near field intensity and phase, far field intensity, and laser jitter. The conclusions...
