Research abstract

A thulium-based high peak-power system is proposed for generating wavelengths near 1.89m, suitable for conversion to blue wavelengths near 473nm via fourth-harmonic generation. The proposed 1.89m system will be capable of producing 80mJ per pulse at PRFs greater than 200Hz, <100ns pulsewidth, <0.2nm linewidths, and meet the demanding Navy requirements for SWaP and ruggedness aboard airborne platforms. The approach is based upon scaling or modifying demonstrated technologies based on accurate and comprehensive models to meet the suite of requirements of the SBIR. Preliminary modeling results, relevant published results, and a discussion of the challenges and approaches to meeting the requirements are included.
