Mid and Far Infrared Vidicon Investigations of Thermal Lensing, Interference, and Thermal Radiation from Laser Windows

Book Description
The authors report results of investigations of lensing and interference effects on the transmission of 10.6 micrometer CW laser beams through material windows. The evolution of the transmitted beam profile is recorded employing a real-time IR Vidicon detection system; observations are carried out on a variety of windows, including Irtran-4, Si, KCl, BaF2 and CsBr. The phenomena observed include lensing, slewing and interference, and combinations thereof. The majority of the observations may be interpreted in terms of existing theoretical models; the slewing effect, however, remains unaccounted for as yet. Also described is a novel technique in which the thermal profile in the window is recorded simultaneously with the transmitted pattern, by employing a GE Vidicon sensitive in the 2.3-4.5 micrometer range to spatially image radiation emitted by the window. The results suggest that scattering and absorption near the periphery of circular samples may be an important mechanism in determining the heat distribution in the window.

Laser Window and Mirror Materials

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Charles S. Sahagian Chief, Electromagnetic Materials Technology Branch Deputy for Electronic Technology Hanscom AFB, MA 01731 I t should not be surprising that an event as significant as the discovery of the laser has had some con comitant impact on other areas of science and technology, but the extent of the impact was grossly unpredicted. Upon perusal of this bibliography, devoted to the subject of laser window and mirror materials, it becomes very apparent that the effect of the laser on materials R&D has been enormous. Several hundred papers and reports, representing millions of dollars of effort, have been promulgated over the past decade; and as new frequencies, improved tunability, higher power, and other charac teristics are achieved, we can expect even greater demands and requirements on the materials com munity. What are some of the highlights disclosec by this bibliography with regard to work already ac complished? First, one can note the extensive investigations into developing new materials while at the same time improving old ones. Among the latter, alkali halides, for example, have essentially had a rebirth. I n the past five years more progress has been achieved in the chemical and structural perfec tion of this class of materials than in the entire preceding century. Also carried along in the surge for improved laser materials have been the alkaline earth fluorides (prime candidates for 3-to 5-J,Lm ap plications), chalcogenides, semiconductors, oxides, and others.
