dc.description.abstract | We present the design, performance, and initial activation of the Mobile Ultrafast High Energy Laser Facility, a 5 TW near-infrared laser source located on a multi-km test range at Kennedy Space Center. The system is compact, readily transportable, and provides a robust, tunable output suitable for long range studies of high intensity laser propagation. The supporting testing infrastructure, which includes stand-alone beam diagnostic stations and atmospheric monitoring capabilities, makes this facility ideal for the development of stand-off high energy ultrafast applications and fundamental studies of atmospheric laser science. | en |
