From Event: International Conference on Space Optics — ICSO 2021, 2021
A side-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with pulse energy of >170 mJ, pulse duration of 6~7 ns and M2≈2.5 has been miniaturized, light-weighted and dimensioned for high electrical to optical efficiency. The key performance parameters and space qualification of the laser will be presented. Its performance and space environment reliability is suitable for space-borne altimeter.
