The topics of optical components, materials, and design; lasers and laser systems; spectroscopic applications, and application of laser optics are discussed. Papers are presented on imaging of the wavefront under test in interferometry, optical performance of synthetic aperture telescope configurations, resonator optical designs for free-electron lasers, and the onset of saturation in a high-gain free-electron laser. Additional papers include lifetime and quenching measurements of C/sub 2/H emission produced by vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of C/sub 2/H/sub 2/, multiband selection with linear array detectors, nuclear radiation-induced absorption in optical materials, Raman studies of laser-damaged single-layer and multilayer optical coatings, and lidar techniques for search and rescue. Special consideration is given to the advances in the optics research in the Rio Grande research corridor, such as the Strategic Defense Initiatives at Los Alamos National Laboratory, recent advances in optical measurement methods in physics and chemistry, and the Plant Genetic Engineering Laboratory for Desert Adaptation.
