Design and Layout of an Iodine Laser System

  • Chapter
The High-Power Iodine Laser

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 34))

  • 87 Accesses

Abstract

The preceding chapters have been devoted to the physical principles of the iodine laser, the generation and amplification of short pulses, and the scaling laws of a single amplifier stage. This chapter now deals with the technical aspects and possible versions of an iodine laser system such as can be built at present for its main field of application, namely laser fusion research.
