Abstract

Laser emission at 1535 nm from Er3+: glass is interesting due to its eyesafe wavelength and high atmospheric transmission. Diode laser pumping of the Er:Glass laser rod dramatically reduces thermal effects when compared to flashlamp pumping, allowing operation at higher repetition rates with higher average output power. This technology opens new opportunities for use in many applications such as ranging, target designation, laser radar, environmental sensing, collision avoidance, law enforcement and wind shear detection.
