Center Independent Research & Development: GSFC IRAD
Airborne Flight-able Precision and Fast Tunable Seed-laser System
Project Introduction
Our new technology improves the S/N, reliability and flexibility, reduces the power consumption, size, mass, and cost, and allows addition of more wavelength channels without penalties. This new technology will benefit science missions to remotely measure concentrations of trace gases, as well as water vapor and oxygen.
Our goal is to drastically improve the frequency precision while retaining the fast tuning speed of widely tunable lasers
