Research abstract
WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A INGAASP/INP DOUBLE HETROSTRUCTURE LASER THAT WILL OPERATE WITH A WAVELENGTH OF 1.08 MICRON. THE CW LASER WILL BE TUNABLE TO PRODUCE LIGHT EQUIVALENT TO THE HELIUM SPECTRAL LINES AT 1.083 MICRON. THIS LASER CAN BE USED AS AN OPTICAL PUMPING SOURCE FOR HE3 AND HE4 ATOMS USED IN SPACE MAGNETOMETERS. CONTINUOUS OUTPUT POWER OF 10MW IS THE DESIGN GOAL.
