Background

NASA Artemis program will send Astronauts back to the Moon and practice In- Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) there, and then get ready for human exploration of Mars.

Our IRAD project is to develop 6 m pulsed OP-GaAs OPO laser for unambiguous water ice detection on the Moon and other planetary bodies.

6 m pulsed OP-GaAs OPO laser is pumped by a single frequency Ho:YLF pulsed laser.

We designed a Compact ring-cavity laser pumped single-frequency pulsed OPO.

Custom Water Cooled AO Q-Switch: CQQ-41-1-1500-BC/WC & RF Driver is the key part of OPO pump source: Compact ring-cavity single-frequency Ho:YLF pulsed laser.

The principle of two-mirror ring-cavity lasers has been demonstrated by References:

Diode-Laser-pumped Nd:YAG ring laser using an acousto-optic modulator.”

Scope

Gooch & Housego (British company) has modified our original design, but the company asked a long lead time to fabricate the AO Q-Switch.

Brimrose (USA company) shall fabricate the AO Q-switch in reasonable lead time of 11-13 weeks and meet the same requirement.

Requirements

Deliverables or Delivery Schedule The lead time is about 11-13 weeks.
