Public award description
CODE 663 AND 554 ARE PERFORMING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF LASER-BASED INSTRUMENTS FOR THE LISA (LASER INTERFEROMETER SPACE ANTENNA). WE REQUIRE HIGH EFFICIENCY, HIGH PEAK POWER, SPACE QUALIFIED YTTERBIUM FIBER - AMPLIFIER-BASED LASER TRANSMITTERS. NASA HAS PREVIOUSLY FUNDED A MULTI-YEAR EFFORT AT LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES INC (NOW LUCENT GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS INC.) FOR A VERY SIMILAR SPACE-QUALIFIED HIGH PEAK POWER AMPLIFIER (HPPOA) FOR A DIFFERENT UNRELATED MISSION. IN ADDITION, WE RECENTLY FUNDED A SPECIFIC STUDY FOR A SPACE-QUALIFIED YTTERBIUM FIBER LASER. AS A RESULT OF THIS PREVIOUS FUNDING, THE HPPOA DEVICE IS THE ONLY SPACE-QUALIFIED FIBER OPTICAL AMPLIFIER THAT HAS THE NECESSARY ELECTRICAL EFFICIENCY (15%) AND POLARIZATION EXTINCTION RATIO (30DB) REQUIRED FOR THE LISA MISSION.
