Development history and trend analysis of shipborne laser weapons

舰载激光武器作为常规舰载武器的有益补充,已经受到世界各国的普遍关注。本文介绍了舰载激光武器的发展历程,系统阐述了舰载激光武器系统的组成及功能,并分析了它们的主要技术特点及关键技术。最后,论述了舰载激光武器的发展动向,指出自由电子激光器和光纤激光器是未来舰载激光武器的发展重点,而低能、小体积重量的激光器也会逐步用于舰载激光武器,未来舰载激光武器会向小型化、高效率方向发展。

Shipborne laser weapons provide complements for traditional shipborne weapons and they have been given much attention by many countries in the world. This paper introduces the history of shipborn laser weap- ons, and analyzes their compositions, functions and key technologies. Then, it points out that the development of shipborne laser weapons will focus on the free electron lasers and optical fiber lasers, and the low-energy la- sers with small weights and volumes are expected to used in shipborne laser weapons. Actually, the shipborne laser weapons will develop toward the direction of miniaturization and high efficiency.
