Abstract:

The two areas reported on in laser work are a feasibility study of a gas laser in geodetic leveling, which terminates in suggestions for a gas laser oriented leveling system, and a medium power Q-switched laser capable of ranging experiments. The Q-switched laser was constructed under the contract. Shutter and photomultiplier tube studies were conducted. A portable laser power supply, timing system for a PC 1000 external shutter, and 5 channel current amplifier were constructed, and a description of each is given. Author
