Laser gun for military and civil purposes - has turret head on muzzle with emitter crystal inserts

摘要

A laser for use as a weapon for defence against aircrafts, rockets or tanks and also for laser welding and cutting or metals, uses the light of a thermonuclear reaction to pump a solid or gaseous emitter of the ruby or CO2/iodine type. The turret head has four inserts, each with a solid emitter crystal which is tubular, in case the intended purpose is for a weapon. A protective optical system surrounds each crystal which has an outside dia. d2z and an inside dia. d1. The weapon resembles a maching gun and carries on its muzzle a turret head with four compression ignition inserts, each with an emitter crystal of tubular or cylindrical shape. This combines a fast automatic operation with a light energy which is several orders of magnitude greater than that or ordinary flash tubes.
