Rockwell has been tasked with the objective of both qualitatively and quantitatively defining the performance of LANL Compact Laser coupling systems. The performance criteria of the system will be based upon the magnitude and uniformity of the energy distribution in the laser pumping rod. Once this is understood, it will then be possible to improve the device performance via changes in the system`s component parameters. For this study, the authors have chosen to use the Los Alamos Radiometry Code (LARC), which was previously developed by Rockwell. LARC, as an analysis tool, is well suited for this problem because the code contains the needed photometric calculation capability and easily handles the three-dimensionality of the problem. Also, LARC`s internal graphics can provide very informative visual displays of the optical system.
