Abstract
Apparatus for generating a high-energy temporally shaped, coherent series of laser pulses having signal components on pre-selected rotational vibrational transitions, comprising: a waveguide laser array having an output comprising a desired temporally shaped coherent series of laser pulses on one pre-selected rotational vibrational transition, a second-harmonic generator arranged to double the waveguide laser array output frequency, a line matching laser array having a plurality of outputs of another temporal shape on additional rotational vibrational transitions, and means comprising an array of difference frequency mixers responsive to synchronized reception of line matching laser array outputs and said frequency doubled waveguide laser array output to form a corresponding high-energy, coherent series of laser pulses having a waveguide laser array output-determined temporal shape and line matching laser array output-determined rotational vibrational transitions.
