The SET-210 meeting on “Novel Infrared laser technology for modern battlefield requirements” brought together technical experts on IR laser technology and those using these lasers in military applications. Papers presented covered a range of laser technologies including Quantum Cascade and Fiber Lasers, as well as systems that incorporate frequency conversion. Descriptions of CW, pulsed and broadband/tuneable lasers were given; manufacturing techniques were also discussed. From the user community there were presentations on a number of applications for IR lasers. These include IR Counter Measures, Remote Sensing and Active Imaging – both 2D and 3D. Cost, size, weight and power are major considerations that impact the deployability of these lasers and systems based on them. Recommendations are made regarding taking forward the development of these technologies .
