High Power Laser Weapons

Josef Shwartz

Past and on-going high power laser weapons development efforts will be described.

The presentation will start with an overview of the key laser attributes that have fueled the search for laser weapons over the past 40 years, and will continue with a description of the well-established chemical laser technologies and the demonstrations conducted to date to validate their military effectiveness. It will continue with a description of the recently demonstrated 100 kW Joint High Power Solid State Laser System, and the state of the art of single-mode high-power fiber lasers. Ongoing and planned activities to scale fibers into the 100 kW regime, widely regarded as the threshold for laser weapons applications, will be described as well.

The presentation will conclude with an assessment of the road ahead for laser weapons development.
