A compact CO(2) laser has been developed for field use as part of an infrared heterodyne radar. The laser, which contains a separate local oscillator, transmits 10.5 W cw or 7 W average in the electrooptically Q-switched mode at a repetition rate of 50 kHz. The applicability of this laser to active imaging is discussed.
