Compact high-power eye safe fiber laser for LADAR

Abstract: We report on an eye safe fiber laser generating >5 Watts of average power at 50 kHz packaged in a cylinder measuring 6" in diameter and 3.75" in length to show compatibility with advanced seeker concepts. To our knowledge, this represents the highest average power per unit volume from an eye safe pulsed fiber laser generating multi-Watts of average power.Keywords: high power, eye safe, fiber laser, advanced seeker, LADAR IntroductionCompact, efficient, and cost effective short pulse laser sources that emit rad… Show more

“…Q-switched bulk [5] and fiber lasers [6], external modulated or direct modulated semiconductor lasers [7][8] can be used as seed sources. In case of Q-switched lasers it is impossible to adjust independently pulse parameters like duration and repetition rate, which results from the fact that each change of a repetition rate implies the change of pulse width.…”

“…Pulsed laser sources operating in the ''eye-safe'' (k [1.4 lm) spectral range are desired for numerous applications, like remote sensing, range finding, material processing, area mapping, or mid-infrared super continuum generation [1][2][3][4]. Most of these applications require optical pulses of short duration, usually on the nanosecond-scale and with kW-level peak power.…”
