为了有一定的试验亮度和强流电子束,使其更接近九十年代的战略防御研究对大功率激光器的需求,洛斯·阿拉莫斯国家实验室正在改装自由电子激光器。 改装后的激光器中将增加一个新的装置,称之为光电注入器。它能产生很亮的波束,这个波束的亮度直接与其最终的破坏效能有关。洛斯·阿拉莫斯的激光专家们正在重新设计激光器的加速装置和摇摆器,在没有破坏和衰减的情况下更好的传输波束。 Los Alamos National Laboratory is refurbishing free-electron lasers in order to have some experimental brightness and high-intensity electron beams closer to the need for high-power lasers in strategic defensive studies of the nineties. The laser will be modified to add a new device, called the photoelectric injector. It produces a very bright beam, the brightness of which is directly related to its ultimate damage performance. Laser experts at Los Alamos are redesigning laser accelerators and rockers to better transmit the beam without damage or attenuation.
