Title: Wavelength Conversion of Pulsed Fiber Lasers

Agency / Branch: DOD / DARPA

Contract: W31P4Q-06-C-0051

Award Amount: $99,000.00

Abstract:
First generation mid-infrared lasers contribute to the prohibitively high life cycle cost of infrared countermeasures systems, precluding their broad application in helicopters. We propose to develop a fiber amplifier-based IRCM laser transmitter that will contain all optical beams within optical fiber, eliminating adjustable, discrete, optical mounts, to significantly increase the laser's MTBF. The Phase I work will develop an in-line optical parametric oscillator to show an all in-fiber mid-IR laser.
