High Efficiency Wavelength Stabilized 1532 nm Pump Laser Diode Modules

A Firm Fixed Price contract was awarded to nLIGHT, INC. on a Sole Source basis for the design, manufacture and delivery of high efficiency 1532 nm pump laser diodes to be integrated in a compact pulsed Er:YAG laser for the NASA Atmospheric Boundary Layer Lidar Pathfinder (ABLE) project with marked improvements in electrical-optical efficiency to allow for operation on future small-satellite platforms. nLIGHT has the capability of achieving the required efficiency improvements while maintaining the form and fit to be placed inside the Er:YAG laser infrastructure and to maintain spaceflight capability.
