摘要: The Atmospheric Lidar Observatory (ALO) at Utah State University has recently acquired an alexandrite laser, developed by Light Age Incorporated, that is a relatively new type of configuration, ideal for resonance lidar and DIAL observations. Unidirectional ring lasing established in two-rod cavity, producing single longitudinal transverse mode (TEM00) pulses up to 200 mJ energy having pulse length 100 nsec or greater. This paper is, part, progress report on the advanced technology behind this how performance level will impact atmospheric We have not yet operated USU laser as transmitter, but carried out construction testing two other similar lasers, one which lidar-operational, currently being installed same purpose. reviews some salient features medium, provides details current state-of-the-art tunable frequency-stabilized outlines capabilities geophysical measurements using laser.
