Chaotic LIDAR for Naval Applications

Abstract

A high power, wide bandwidth green optical transmitter has been presented for underwater LIDAR work. Previous reports have detailed the generation of 532 nm green light with wideband frequency content, as well as proof-of-concept ranging demonstrations in fiber using an improved 1550 nm infrared chaotic laser signal. We now report the end-to-end integration of the 532 nm source using an improved 1064 nm chaotic signal, demonstrate 150 mW output at 532 nm, and show accurate ranging results in the water.
