2019 Track Illumination Laser Workshop Welcome

The 2019 Track Illumination Laser Workshop will take place on June 4, 2019 at the University of New Mexico's Center for High Technology Materials:

CHTM is walking distance from the DE-JTO office. A registration fee of $30 per person is required for attendance to this event.

Overview

Fixed and variable repetition rate pulsed 1450-1650nm track illuminator lasers (TIL) are needed for multiple beam control applications in 2-D and 3-D imaging. Their requirements are strenuous, and consequently an optimized laser has yet to be realized.

As a means to analyze beam control systems and laser technology progress, the Directed Energy Joint Technology Office’s Laser Sources and Beam Control Working groups are hosting a track illumination laser (TIL) workshop. This is an opportunity for Service representatives, Industry leaders and laser vendors to meet, discuss progress, limiting issues and paths forward.

The objectives are to increased awareness of the state-of-the-art for both beam control and lasers, clarification of technology readiness and near-term progress, feedback for system designers and recommendations for DE-JTO.

Note: This is a NO FORN/FOUO Workshop. Invitees are limited to those receiving an email invite. Industry speakers may restrict their talks due to proprietary information. Small meeting rooms may be available if private discussions are desired. Contact Tim Newell at tim.newell.CTR@JTO.HPC.MIL for a request to attend.
