Description

Laser Propulsion in Space: Fundamentals, Technology, and Future Missions takes readers on a comprehensive journey from a theoretical overview of the fundamentals of laser ablation to a review of current projects involving high-power CW fiber lasers and their ongoing and potential applications. Written by experts in the field, the mathematically sound excursus also features graphics depicting the equations’ results and case studies with worked-out examples, making this book an invaluable reference source for students, researchers, and professional engineers in a number of complementary fields.

Author Biography:

Claude Phipps earned B.S./M.S. degrees at MIT, and a Ph.D. at Stanford in 1972, for the first laser-plasma interaction experiment. At Los Alamos from 1992 to 1995, he facilitated peaceful applications of lab technology as Associate Director of the Alliance for Photonic Technology, was project leader for the laser effects program, and developed a general theory for predicting pulsed laser pressure on surfaces in vacuum. He formed Photonic Associates in 1995 to develop laser space propulsion. He invented the ORION and L’ADROIT concepts for laser space debris re-entry and collaborated with CNES to develop the Just-in-time Collision Avoidance principle. He has authored 145 scientific journal publications in laser applications and materials interactions and 158 conference presentations. He chaired the ‘High Power Laser Ablation’ conferences in Santa Fe from 1998 to 2022. He is author or contributor to three books on laser interaction, plus a popular science book titled No Wonder you Wonder (Springer, 2016).
