This proposal addresses the need to develop improved laser beam quality and efficiency for high powered lasers such as the 12 - 14 kW HF/DF chemical and other related high powered lasers. This objective is achieved by using inproved resonator design solutions based on proprietary algorithms and computational software. The analytical approach breaks through current design limitations by establishing super quasi-resonant modes obtained from the expansion of bi-orthogonal wave functions matched to each of the primary laser resonator optics. Our analytically sophisticated design solutions can be applied to both perturbed and aberrated local oscillators and power amplifiers. Benefits of this design approach include increased power intensity on target and the capability of designing more compact, efficient, reliable and portable lasers.
Benefits: Improved high powered laser design, diagnostics, and reliability
