Concept Schematic - Dual Lazer Pulse (DLP)

 

Dual Laser Pulse (DLP) Critical Issues

• Long range atmospheric propagation of USPL & generation of controlled plasma channels (single, multiple?)
• Absorption of LPL (energetic, long pulse, long wavelength) to generate a high energy density, localized plasma sources
• Efficient plasma flare emission in wavelength of interest molecular, atomics, ions, free-free emission.

Objectives

• Concept feasibility and energy/power requirements for guide-star application

•  Preliminary design of proof of principle laboratory experiment

So what is required for the generation of a guide-star at remote location ?
