EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF SUN POWERED LASER TRANSMITTER

Abstract

This report published describes the continuing effort of experimentation and design leading to the delivery of an experimental model of a sunpowered laser transmitter. The design and fabrication of the transmitter is discussed with respect to the optical system and mount. An experimental Nd- doped CaWo4 Laser is described. Related to this description are integral pump optics requirements, fabrication problems and thermal considerations of the unit. Experimental Nd-doped glass lasers are discussed in both the short- and long-fiber configurations. (Author)
