About this award
This is a $737,758 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Princeton Lightwave Inc. to develop a high-power, tunable seed laser for a methane-detecting LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system. The objective is to create a robust, compact seed laser that can enable the realization of higher-performance high-energy laser sources for atmospheric methane detection. This contract builds on the feasibility demonstrated in the prior Phase I effort. The final deliverable is expected by March 16, 2018.
Description
Growing interest in precise measurements of methane concentration and distribution in the earth's atmosphere is stimulating efforts to develop lidar systems in the spectral region of 16XX NM utilizing path differential absorption techniques. The key element of such systems is a high energy optical source with good beam properties operating in the vicinity of a methane absorption line. A number of very promising architectures for designing high energy lasers at 1651 NM have been described recently, but the performance of the lasers developed in these earlier efforts has been limited by the lack of a sufficiently high-power tunable seed laser. We demonstrated in phase i of this sbir program a feasibility of a high power fibercoupled, narrow linewidth, tunable seed laser at 1650NM. For this sbir phase II program, we propose to develop and to deliver a robust seed laser that is highly reliable, compact, and which ultimately will allow the realization of much higher performance high energy laser sources designed for methane detection.
