Basic Laser Weapon System Design

by Andrew Motes

This book describes the design process for laser weapons and shows how power and weight are related to laser efficiency and duty cycle. The author uses example requirements to step the reader through a basic design. It was written for engineers or physicists who have no experience in the field, or for engineering students who are interested in learning about laser weapons. Readers are expected to have an understanding of optics and laser physics. This book can also be used as a teaching tool for the engineering design process.

Very good reference manual

This book is a very detailed manual unless your weapon system design. It gives you the math the principles and the understanding to design a laser system. Highly technical. But yet you can read it and a beginner level. With the exception of the math.
