Abstract
A space qualified single frequency laser has been presented recently.1 Such oscillators will be utilized in scientific programs as well as in commercial intersatellite communication links. One particular application is to serve as a source for LIDAR measurements (global wind fields, atmospheric dynamics). We present the development and tests of the Tesat-Spacecom seeder laser unit (SLU) used in a ESA Doppler Wind LIDAR project study.2
