A 2-Micron Pulsed Laser Transmitter for Direct Detection Column CO2 Measurement from Space Project

<p> Develop a compact, efficient 2&micro;m pulsed laser for a lidar instrument to make accurate, high-resolution atmospheric CO2 column measurements in support of the ASCENDS mission.<br /> Develop a pulsed 2&micro;m laser that is based on a Thulium fiber-laser pumped Holmium (Ho) solid state laser in a Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) configuration.<br /> Demonstrate 65mJ at 50Hz needed for the space&nbsp; Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) instrument in a robust prototype format.</p>
