Spatial filter: laser chain components (1 Nov 1976) (Engineering Materials). [62 drawings]

Miscellaneous ·
OSTI ID:5239671

Drawings are given for the five spatial filters used along each of the 20 Shiva laser chains. The drawings are for the mechanical hardware and one lens. These spatial filters, when assembled with appropriate lens and pinhole/support shaft, provide the functions of: (1) beam expansion and recollimation, (2) removal of high frequency spatial noise on the laser beam, and (3) relaying of the image of the apodized aperture down the laser chain.
