Compact 1.5 mJ Eye-Safe OPO Laser

A compact robust eye-safe laser for atmosphere lidars and rangefinders was developed. The device was a diode pumped Nd:YAG laser with a KTP OPO producing 1.5 mJ/6 ns pulses of 1.57 um radiation at 40 Hz repetition rate. The laser confirmed stable long term operation of over 10 million pulses total.
