Scientific paper

Techniques used for reducing index-of-refraction variations present in the gas contained in the optical path of a high-energy laser beam director are described. These include boundary layer control on mirrors, thermal conditioning of beam-expander cavities and coude paths, and thermal control of vacuum- and exit-window configurations. Attention is focused on design concepts for each of the techniques, and beam-path conditioning systems combining these approaches are considered. Current capabilities of beam-path conditioning systems are summarized, and recommendations for future work are outlined.
