  • Abstract
    A compact eye-safe laser for atmosphere lidar was developed. The device is Nd:YLF laser with KTP OPO, wavelength is 1,54 um, repetition rate is 50 Hz and Q-switched pulse energy is 8 mJ. The laser rod and laser diodes are conductive cooled. The device has run tests with 5×105 shots without parameter decrease.
