Scientific paper

The laser is now treated more as a component than a separate system, and this trend has led to a whole new set of engineering challenges. The layout of an integrated system, optical design considerations, damage problems, alignment needs and techniques, and integrated system testing are discussed in this paper. System layout must take into account all interfaces, especially from a maintainability viewpoint, and often includes the use of a common optical path for several subsystems. Careful attention must be paid to laser-induced damage of both people and hardware. Alignment, both internally (between subsystems), and externally (boresight) must be a major design factor. Finally, testing requirements often influence system layout. Some examples of design tricks and gadgets are included, based on both a military rangefinder and a commercial welder system.
