Abstract
This paper describes measurements of the impulse transmitted to metallic targets by CO2 TEA laser pulses with duration around 100 ns. This represents the first such measurements for submicrosecond duration pulses. The impulse was measured as a function of target material and diameter, laser power, laser beam focusing, and ambient air pressure.Keywords
