Directed Energy Demos kW Cryogenic Laser

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Directed Energy Solutions (DES), a Colorado Springs, Colo., developer of chemical and optical systems, said it has demonstrated a continuous-output, kW cryogenic solid-state laser -- the highest average-power cryogenic laser ever built. The development and demonstration are part of the Air Laser program, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Department of Defense High Energy Laser, Joint Technology Office. Cryogenic solid-state laser devices produce increased output power and significant size and weight advantages compared to other types of solid-state lasers, DES...Read full article
