Abstract

The atmospheric transmission window between 3.4 and 4.2 μm is an important infrared band for many optical remote sensing applications. Not only is the atmospheric attenuation minimal, but several detectors (e.g. InAs, InSb, PbSe) have excellent sensitivity in this spectral region. Unfortunately active system development has been impeded by the lack of a convenient, efficient laser source in this spectral range. Only the DF chemical laser has capability for high power output in this region, but the complications associated with storage and handling of fuel, and the limited operating life have curtailed the application of these devices.
