A High-Efficiency Ytterbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier Designed for Interplanetary Laser Communications

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Design, performance, and environmental screening of flight prototype Ytterbium amplifiers designed for the Mars Laser Communications Demonstration are described. The high- reliability design delivered >8-W average power with low-duty-cycle PPM waveforms and >21% electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency.
