Phased High-Power Laser Transmisssion Through Optical Fiber Cables
Abstract
The research carried out under this contract included the development and modeling of solid-state optical sources, including devices based on optical parametric oscillation, Raman oscillation, and harmonic generation. Devices pumped by solid-state lasers and using multiple stages of nonlinear frequency conversion were studied. Regimes of operation offering extended tuning ranges, multiple wavelength generation, high efficiency, or low threshold were identified. This research also included modeling of solid-state lasers, such as Tm:YAG, Yb:YAG, and upconversion fiber lasers, as well as studies of dynamical instabilities in semiconductor lasers.
