Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is a novel laser
that generates directed energy at a distance consisting of a narrowband tunable
radio-frequency (RF) emission in the MHz and GHz ranges for military and commercial
applications. This is accomplished by creating a localized transient
micro-laser plasma source with a periodic pulse function. The system is
additionally constructed of coaxially stacked laser pulses with known time
separations, which through the Fourier transform generate a tunable narrowband
RF tone and associated harmonics at target.
