Why Should Directed Energy Weapons Integrate An Additive White Gaussian Noise Source?

Laser-based directed energy weapons have been a subject of intense research and development in the military domain. One of the key challenges in deploying high-energy laser weapons is Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS), which limits the performance of the weapon system at higher power levels. In this context, embedding a noise source into the weapon's electronics can enhance its performance and reduce the impact of SBS.

The Noisecom webinar, "How Can Additive White Gaussian Noise Increase the Power & Performance of Directed Energy Weapons?" offers a comprehensive overview of this technique and its impact on improving the effectiveness of laser weapons. In this article, explore the key points covered in the webinar and learn more about how noise sources can improve laser weapon performance.
