• $98,587 - Tuesday the 8th of January 2013
  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE PROPOSE TO DEMONSTRATE AND BUILD A NEAR 2 MICRON WIDELY TUNABLE, NARROW LINEWIDTH, SINGLE FREQUENCY FIBER LASER BY DEVELOPING AN INNOVATIVE HO-DOPED SINGLE MODE FIBER. SUCH NEAR 2 MICRON FIBER LASER IS NEEDED FOR COHERENT LIDAR AND INTERFEROMETRIC FIBER SENSING. IN PHASE I, WE WILL DESIGN AND FABRICATE THIS NEW FIBER, DEMONSTRATE FIXED WAVELENGTH NARROW LINEWIDTH SINGLE FREQUENCY FIBER LASER WITH LINEWIDTH OF LESS THAN 3KHZ, DEMONSTRATE WAVELENGTH TUNING RANGE OF GREATER THAN 10NM AND DEMONSTRATE 5GHZ FREQUENCY MODULATION WITH NO ANY MODE-HOPING. SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION OF SUCH A FIBER LASER WILL ENABLE MANY NEW NASA AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS.

  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE PROPOSE TO DEMONSTRATE AND BUILD A 1.55 MICRON SINGLE FREQUENCY HIGH ENERGY AND HIGH PEAK POWER FIBER AMPLIFIER BY DEVELOPING AN INNOVATIVE ER-DOPED GAIN FIBER WITH LARGE CORE DIAMETER AND HIGH GAIN PER UNIT LENGTH. 1.55 MICRON SINGLE FREQUENCY HIGH ENERGY AND HIGH PEAK POWER FIBER AMPLIFIER IS NEEDED FOR COHERENT LIDAR AND SENSING. IN PHASE I, WE WILL DESIGN AND FABRICATE THIS NEW FIBER, DEMONSTRATE HIGH GAIN PER UNIT LENGTH AND HIGH EFFICIENCY, AND DEMONSTRATE HIGH ENERGY AND HIGH PEAK POWER FIBER AMPLIFIER WITH A SHORT PIECE OF GAIN FIBER. SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION OF SUCH A FIBER AMPLIFIER WILL ENABLE MANY NEW NASA AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS.

  IGF::OT::IGF OTHER FUNCTION - FREQUENCY-LOCKED SINGLE-FREQUENCY 2 MICRON FIBER LASER IS PROPOSED TO BE USED FOR AIRBORNE/SPACEBORNE COHERENT LIDAR MEASUREMENTS, I.E., ACTIVE SENSING OF CO2 EMISSIONS OVER NIGHTS, DAYS, AND SEASONS. THE LASER IS BASED ON OUR PROPRIETARY FIBER TECHNOLOGY AND EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN FIBER LASER DEVELOPMENT, WHICH FEATURES A COMPACT, HIGHLY STABLE, FREQUENCY-STABILIZED LIGHT SOURCE. ADVANCED FREQUENCY-LOCKING SCHEMES FOR BOTH CENTER-LINE FREQUENCY-LOCKING AND OFFSET-FREQUENCY LOCKING IS DEVELOPED IN THE LASER SOURCE TO ADDRESS THE BANDWIDTH ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH AIRBORNE AND SPACE-BORNE COHERENT LIDAR MEASUREMENTS. IMPORTANT KEY CONCEPTS IN THE PROPOSED LASER HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED IN THE PHASE I EFFORT. THIS PHASE II PROGRAM WILL FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOTYPE UNITS OF TWO FREQUENCY-LOCKED LASERS AT A SPECIFIC WAVELENGTH OF NASA INTEREST. THE PROTOTYPE UNITS WILL BE DELIVERED TO NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER AT THE END OF THIS PHASE II PROGRAM FOR EVALUATION TEST.
