  • Abstract
    NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is a leader and has pioneered technologies related to the development of 2-micron laser transmitters. Using a co-doped Ho,Tm:LiYF4 crystal laser, NASA LaRC researchers have demonstrated up to 600 mJ of 2-micron energy. Recently, a 2 micron power oscillator at room temperature was demonstrated for a possible Space Shuttle mission
