Research abstract
A NEW LASER MATERIAL, TERMED GSGG HAS UNIQUE PROPERTIES WHICH COULD PROVE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL IN SPACEBORNE LIDAR APPLICATION. EFFICIENCIES SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN CONVENTIONAL SOLID STATE MATERIALS PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL OF REDUCED WEIGHT, SIZE AND POWER REQUIREMENT FOR THE SAME ENERGY OUTPUT AS OBTAINED, FOR EXAMPLE, FROM A YAG LASER. THIS COULD HAVE PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS IN SPACEBORNE APPLICATIONS SUCH AS LIDAR. THIS STUDY IS TO FULLY CHARACTERIZE AND ADOPT THIS LASER FOR SPACEBORNE LIDAR APPLICATION.
