Abstract

Abstract : Deuterium Fluoride (DF) High Energy Laser (HEL) support was provided for testing aperture sharing optical elements in the HEL beam using the Shared Aperture Breadboard Test System (SABTS). The TRW Baseline Demonstration Laser (BDL) HEL facility was modified for SABTS, and laser support was provided for survivability tests of coatings and performance tests of dichroic beam splitters. As an add-on experiment, HEL survivability and performance tests of microwave windows and missile guidance heads were also supported. (Author)
