Abstract
A plurality of pulsed chemical lasers such as HF or DF lasers are disposed symmetrically about a central axis. Each laser is energized sequentially so that the resulting output laser pulses have substantially consecutive time duration. Hence, the duration of the laser pulses equals the duration of each laser times the number of lasers. Reflectors are provided for combining the output pulses of each laser to generate a segmented output beam.
