Modeling and Experimental Measurements of Laser-Sustained Hydrogen Plasmas
Laser propulsion is an advanced propulsion concept especially applicable to orbital transfer vehicles. As an alternative to combusting fuel and oxidizer, the concept utilizes a remote laser beam as a source of power. A laser sustained plasma (LSP) is the medium by which power is absorbed by the …

Phasing of Ground-based Optical Arrays for Space Applications
… including optical communication, active sensing, laser propulsion, and the removal of space debris. However, large monolithic optics required to obtain high directivity are costly and difficult to slew at the rates required to track an object in low earth orbit (LEO). Coherent combination of a …

Novel diagnostic techniques for investigations into energy and matter transport in dynamic systems
… requiring existing or potential users of laser technology to invest significant time and money in their attempted use. In this work a novel diagnostics platform is theorised for the study of light-matter interactions by assessing energy transfer within a process relative to certain …
