Evaluation of the Performance of a Laser for Airborne Depth Sounding.

Abstract

The performance of a conventional electro-optically Q-switched, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser is evaluated for a laser airborne depth sounder operating at 168 Hz. The laser more than meets the requirements of the depth sounder and successfully completed a 1000 hour lifetest. (Author)
