High Radiance Pulsed Lasers
Abstract
The objective of this contract was to design, develop, test, and deliver six (6) pulsed laser modules. These devices combined 10 to 12 pulsed GaAlAs injection lasers into a compact package using fiber optic coupling to achieve a high radiance. The delivered devices had a nominal peak power of 100 watts in a 40 ns pulse at a repetition rate up to 50 kHz. The emitting aperture was 0.010 inch square. The devices were designed to be driven by a Power Technology model ILM pulser. Keywords include: Lasers, Semiconductor laser, Gallium aluminum arsenide, and Laser diode arrays.
