Tunable solid-state lasers for laser radar

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The advent of tunable solid-state laser sources will impact a number of laser remote sensing uses. Currently, good spectral coverage can be obtained in the visible and ultraviolet with Ti:sapphire lasers excited by frequency doubled Nd:YAG lasers. Pollutant sensing of species such as NO2 and SO2 can be performed with these lasers. A brief review of the sensitivity calculations and hardware capabilities of Ti:sapphire and Ti:sapphire harmonic sources is given.
