Design and Implementation of High-Power Fiber Laser Cham-ber Test Under Different Aerosols Conditions

Abstract

: In the past two decades, the important role of high-energy lasers (HEL) has emerged in various civilian and military fields. Therefore, foundations and theories of high-power laser radiation have been developed to serve these applications, including the high-power laser aerosol test chamber. This room simulates different weather conditions in a clear and misty atmosphere. In applications that operate at long range, for example, high-energy laser weapons are used to secure an important area against guided bombs. Changes in climatic conditions are an important and influencing factor in the method of high-energy laser radiation, so atmospheric conditions such as industrial weather had to be simulated in the test room. In this paper the interaction between laser beam and different metals such as stainless steel and aluminum was measured with accurate values of heat capacity (HC) at 1.4 J\C and melting point (MP) by temperature 600C and 1000C respec-tively reached in the presence of different types of aerosols with real experiments in order to simulate weather conditions in the far field. These experiments were conducted in a High Energy Laser Chamber Test (HELCT) that was previously designed and imple-mented by the authors.
