Abstract

La présente invention concerne un laser utilisé pour la poursuite d'un missile, d'un projectile ou d'une cible ainsi qu'à des fins d'éclairage. Suivant l'invention, on a prévu comme source de pompage Optique du laser une composition lumineuse pyrotechnique 2. Entre ladite composition lumineuse 2 et le matériau laser on a prévu un dispositif de protection pour la lumière nécessaire au pompage optique. Entre le laser et la composition lumineuse 2, il est prévu une chambre de combustion 4. La lumière laser 5 sort ainsi à l'arrière ou à l'avant du projectile. L'invention s'applique au domaine stratégique de l'armementThe present invention relates to a laser used for tracking a missile, a projectile or a target as well as for lighting purposes. According to the invention, a pyrotechnic luminous composition 2 is provided as the optical pumping source of the laser. Between said luminous composition 2 and the laser material there is provided a protection device for the light necessary for optical pumping. Between the laser and the light composition 2, a combustion chamber 4 is provided. The laser light 5 thus exits at the rear or at the front of the projectile. The invention applies to the strategic field of armaments
