Model QOMA -Diode-Pumped Solid State (DPSS) Laser
Raymetrics S.A. together with National Technical University (Greece), Cilas (France) and Laser Centre of Hannover, LZH (Germany) designed, developed, manufactured, and tested a specific Diode-Pumped Solid State (DPSS) laser at 1064nm suitable for future ground-based, space altimetry and LIDAR missions.
Design, development and manufacture of a new low-weight, high-power diode-pumped laser source for ESA
Transmitting at 1064 nm in a continuous wave (cw) or pulsed mode. QOMA II laser delivers around 13 mJ at 1064 nm at a repetition rate of 100 Hz, with M-square values less than 1.1
Development and testing of a high-power Q-switched DPSS laser for LIDAR applications: ESA QOMA projectcase Georgios Avdikos, Chn`stos Evangelatos, Dimitrios Papadopoulos, George Tsaknakis, Paraskevas Bakopoulos, Alexandros Papayanru2, Georgios Tzeremes
Space-borne LIDARs can provide important information in a global scale
The space borne LIDARs are used with high temporal resolution and at the global scales to evaluate parameters used in weather forecasting and estimation of ice and polar ice changes and oceans
