Abstract:
The Department of Defense (DOD) requires compact, high power, short pulse laser sources operating at eyesafe wavelengths for compact imaging laser radar systems. Conventional eye safe laser sources using diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) and opticalparametric oscillator (OPO) technologies have difficulty meeting the packaging requirements. Aculight Corporation proposes a novel eyesafe, high power, pulsed laser source based on pulsed fiber laser and amplifier technology. The concept uses fiber-basedcomponents developed for the telecommunications industry to achieve an all-fiber-based laser source that is compact, efficient, and very reliable. In Phase II, a high power, eye safe, prototype fiber laser source will be developed and delivered to the ArmyAviation and Missile Command for testing in a scanning LADAR system. This work will develop a novel all-fiber-based eye safe laser source for a variety of military applications, including laser rangefinders and range imaging lidar systems. Commercialapplications include (1) a laser source for medical diagnostics, and (2) industrial processing applications.Small Business Information at Submission:ACULIGHT CORP.
