Abstract
We have built and characterized an injection-seeded, Q-switched, flash -lamp-pumped, eye-safe Er:glass laser that is suitable for coherent re mote sensing. The output of the device is a 400-ns, single-frequency, transform-limited pulse of 1 mJ at 1.552 mu m. (C) 1998 Optical Societ y of America.
