Pulsed Single Frequency MOPA Laser, Phase I
Project Description
Latest advances in semiconductor optoelectronics makes it possible to develop compact light weight robust sources of coherent optical pulses, demanded for numerous applications such as lidars. Recent improvements in heterostructure growth and processing technology, as well as new approaches in waveguide design make it possible to integrate single frequency laser diode, saturable absorber, and semiconductor amplifier in one compact device with high wallplug efficiency and long lifetime. In this Phase I project we will design a prototype device, fabricate it and study its basic parameters.
