Scientific paper
The purpose of this contract was to support and evaluate work done in the area of high energy laser beam projection systems. The principal areas of interest were the support of the DARPA LODE/LAMP/Alpha programs and particularly large optics technology. The contract was divided into three areas of importance: a review of the various project components to provide scientific engineering and technical assistance; the preparation of analyses as needed in the various project areas; and participation in specific technical meetings, including some proposal review. Another area of interest was the support of related work in the area of optics to provide technical information of importance to specific parts of the high-energy laser program. Reports were produced on the following subjects: Absolute Aspheric Measurement; Effect of Coatings on Aberrations; Modeling of Errors in Systems; Extrapolated Mean Square Methods; Subaperture testing; Absolute Measurement of Radius of Curvature; Wavefront Errors Produced by Multilayer Thin Film Optical Coatings; Analysis of alignment and Surface Figure Errors in Optical Systems; Extrapolated Least Squares Optimization Applied to Lens Design; and Testing of Large Telescopes.
