Abstract

Laser emission at 1535 nm from Er3+:glass laser is very useful due to its eye- safe wavelength and high transmission through fiber optics and the atmosphere. Some applications such as target designation, laser radar, law enforcement, and wind-shear detection require higher repetition rates and higher peak-power output than can normally be obtained from a conventional flashlamp-pumped Er3+: glass laser. Diode pumping allows for considerably greater quantum efficiency, dramatically decreasing the thermal design constraints.
