Development of Compact Laser Systems Using 3D printing Techniques for Stand-Off Laser Spectroscopy

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Compact, robust, and energy-efficient lasers play critical roles in various laser remoting sensing applications in fields such as laser Raman and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) techniques. This paper discusses the development of compact and portable Q-Switched Nd: YAG lasers with multi-pulse output and their applications in laser remote sensing. Using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser in an end-pump scheme and 3D printing technique, we describe a new approach to produce compact and lightweight laser system with outstanding thermal-mechanic properties. The applications of compact laser systems will be discussed in LIBS.
