美国空军上校R.W.恩德利克在1972年4月美国仪表协会一次会议上,对克特兰空军基地15哩外的萨迪亚光学试验场上激光武器中心的庞大的测试设备,有选择地作了介绍。有一些参观人员参观了该处的激光实验室,虽然没让看输出功率据报超过了100千瓦的气动激光器,但却参观了研究CO_2和其他气体流动的大型设施。 At a meeting of the American Society of Instrumentation, April 1972, Colonel RW Endlich of the U.S. Air Force selectively introduced a large test facility at the Laser Weapon Center at the Sadia Optical Test Ground 15 miles outside the Kirtland Air Base. . Some visitors visited the laser lab there and although it did not see the output power reported surpassing the 100-kilowatt aerodynamic laser, they visited a large facility that studied the flow of CO 2 and other gases.
