SBIR/STTR
Highly Efficient 2 Micron Wavelength Fiber Laser, Phase I
Project Introduction
Thulium doped fiber laser near 2 micron is of great interest because of the prospect of combining high efficiency, high output power, and retina safety together. This proposal is for the development of highly efficient 1.94 micron fiber laser as the pumping source of Ho doped crystal lasers for LASA's lidar applications. New Tm-doped glasses and fibers will be developed, high efficient fiber lasers will be demonstrated, and a new laser configuration suitable for NASA's application will be designed and demonstrated.
