Abstract

High-power solid-state lasers are desirable in directed-energy applications due to their high power output and scalability. The power transmission effectiveness of 1.06-micron high-power lasers in the atmosphere at low altitudes is impacted by a variety of atmospheric effects. We use a novel low-altitude atmospheric propagation model to evaluate power transmission for 1.06-micron high power lasers under various simulated weather conditions by estimating focal irradiance on a metal surface. We introduce a novel adaptive optics framework to improve low-altitude atmospheric propagation performance for high power lasers and validate performance using computer simulations.
