Abstract

AbstractThis paper provides an overview of novel single frequency and broadly tunable laser technology being developed at Coherent Technologies, Inc. (CTI) for long-range remote sensing of hard targets and distributed targets from ground based and airborne platforms. In all these applications, the need for high beam quality and efficient high power operation is paramount. For many of the applications, it is also critical to control and measure frequency content of the emitted and collected light to a high degree of accuracy. For example, a sub-kHz linewidth is typically required for velocity and vibration imaging, and sub-MHz linewidth for some differential absorption lidar (DIAL) type measurements.
