Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a liquid-cooled window to transmit a high-energy laser beam. The window is to be used with continuous wave lasers with wavelengths between 1.0-1.4 micrometers and is to be 20 more centimeters in diameter. The window must transmit the beam with only small phase and amplitude distortions. The goal is less than 1/20 wave distortion across the beam at 1.315 micrometers that is the primary wavelength of interest. A prototype window will be built at a later data. In this paper results are presented of research into a) techniques for bonding two pieces of fused silica to from the window and b) suitable coolants.
