Description
Two high-energy, short-pulse CO2 laser systems are operating routinely at Los Alamos in support of the target experimental program: Helios, which first demonstrated a 10-kJ, 1-ns output in June 1978, operates at approx. 15 TW on target in a subnanosecond pulse; Gemini, a two-beam system that served as a prototype for Helios, operates at 1.4 kJ on target in a nanosecond pulse
