Abstract
To address the Navys need for a solid state fundamental mode green laser for ocean mine detection, Lumany is proposing a compact, high efficiency, diode pumped solid state, q-switched laser based on novel laser diode pumps and a unique solid state crystal with excellent with energy storage properties for high peak power, short pulsed green lasing output at 520nm from the fundamental mode. This proposed approach meets the program requirements by eliminating the need for second harmonic generation to achieve green laser emission, which is expensive, inefficient, bulky, and temperature sensitive. Lumanys proposal leverages several prior related achievements, specifically in Lumanys commercialization of the worlds first CW diode pumped solid state laser delivering visible light output from the fundamental mode. In addition to Lumanys expertise in visible solid state laser technology, the proposing team includes Clemson Universitys Professor Eric Johnson, the PalmettoNet Endowed Chair in Optoelectronics and his group at Clemsons Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies. Additionally, the proposing team includes laser vendor Soraa Laser Diode, the only commercial GaN laser diode manufacturer in the United States, founded by Professors Shuji Nakamura and Steve DenBaars of University of California, Santa Barbara. * Information listed above is at the time of submission. *
