Chaotic LIDAR for Naval Applications
Abstract
A high power, wide bandwidth green optical signal is sought for LIDAR work in water. Previous reports have detailed the generation of wide bandwidth chaotic signals using fiber ring lasers. These signals have powers on the order of 10 mW, and they operate in the infrared, at 1550 nm and 1064 run (previously, 1071 nm). For underwater work, these signals must be amplified and frequency doubled. This report details design and simulation of a high power frequency doubling circuit, which will both amplify the input wide bandwidth signal and frequency double it. This circuit is intended for use with the 1064 nm laser, to generate 500 mW of optical power at 532 nm, with 1 GHz flat, chaotic bandwidth.
