The usage of lasers in military equipment. Part1.

Abstract

The monograph considers the possibility of using various types of lasers in optical systems for military applications: rangefinders, navigation systems, guidance and suppression systems, ABM defense and space-missile defense systems, as well as quantum data security systems. For better perception, the monograph highlights the following physical principles of lasers: gas, solid-state, free electron, and fiber. The monograph is intended for researchers, engineers and technicians engaged in research and development, manufacturing of laser devices for various purposes. It can also be useful for graduate students, students and cadets of the relevant specialties of higher educational institutions in the study of subjects related to laser and optoelectronic technology.
