引言关于高能射束武器的谈论已越来越多,不管是从国际政治的角度出发,还是从科学发展的前景出发来探讨这个问题,无疑都是十分重要而且令人感到兴趣的一件事。赵紫阳总理指出,“技术革命的兴起,对于我们向四化进军来说既是一个机会,也是一个挑战”。激光科学技术的发展和应用,正是这次技术革命的重要标志之一。为了更好地抓住机会,迎接挑战,本文仅就高能射束武器系统进行一些讨论。去年美国总统里根提出要在外层空间轨道上建立高能射束武器系统,用来对付洲际弹道 INTRODUCTION Discussions about high-energy beam weapons have become more and more frequent, and discussing this issue from an international political perspective or from the perspective of scientific development is undoubtedly an important and interesting one. Premier Zhao Ziyang pointed out: “The rise of the technological revolution is both an opportunity and a challenge for us to march toward the four modernizations.” The development and application of laser science and technology is precisely one of the important symbols of this technological revolution. In order to better seize the opportunity to meet the challenge, this article only some discussion of high-energy beam weapon system. Last year, U.S. President Reagan proposed the establishment of a high-energy beam weapon system on the outer space orbit to deal with intercontinental ballistic
