  • Abstract
    Nonlinear optics is essential to the development of lidar and DIAL wavelengths. Harmonic generation is used to generate widely spaced wavelengths needed for atmospheric component measurement. Seeding is accomplished by using the idler from a LiNbO3 parametric oscillator pumped by Nd:YAG laser.
