Mid-Infrared Lasers
Project Description
Mid infrared solid state lasers for DIAL systems required for understanding atmospheric chemistry are not available. This program will use 2 methods for circumventing the nonradiative quenching effect to enable such systems.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Missions that are already funded generally have their own well-developed objectives and approach to the technology development. MIR lasers are a new avenue of exploration, so I am not aware of any funded mission seeking MIR technology specifically, but they could certainly be potentially enabling to funded missions seeking to make use of or expand into the MIR.
