High-powered mode-locked 532-nm pump laser

Delivery of high-powered mode-locked 532-nm pump laser

Objective:
The objective is to deliver high-powered mode-locked 532-nm pump laser with specifications outlined in the sections below to the Goddard Laser for Absolute Measurement of Radiance (GLAMR) Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

Background:
The GLAMR lab uses high-powered mode-locked 532-nm pump lasers to power optical parametric oscillators to create tunable lasers that serve as light sources for calibration ground support equipment for airborne and satellite sensors operating in the solar reflective region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The pump laser needs to be stable and robust to ensure reliable operation while under schedule-critical thermal vacuum testing of these spaceflight sensors.

Deliverables:
The pump laser must meet the following minimum requirements:
• 532-nm output wavelength
• 55-W minimum optical power output
• Less than 2% power stability
• 75-80MHz output pulse rate
• 20 +/- 5 picosecond pulse length
• Mode-locked with spatial mode TEM00
• 1 milliradian or less of beam divergence
• Vertically polarized output
• M^2 value less than 1.2
• 1.5 +/- 0.5 mm diameter beam
• 2 meter or longer pump fiber length included
• Thermal chiller included - must be capable of operation with the following Paladin 532 20000 systems
- OLAF1 Paladin 532 20W LDP 1229311.162873
- OLAF2 Paladin 532 20W LDP 1229311.179525
• 120 VAC 60 Hz electrical input

Place of Performance:
All work will be conducted off-site.
