内容記述 | Using a 10 W average power sum-frequency laser, we have generated resonant fluorescence beacons in the mesospheric sodium layer and are currently evaluating them for use as an artificial guidestar for atmospheric compensation using adaptive optics. Two flashlamp pumped Nd:YAG lasers operating at 1.064 and 1.319 microns are mixed in a lithium triborate crystal to produce 589 nm light at 840 Hz. The laser emits 47.5 microsec mode-locked pulse trains at 11-14 mJ per pulse and is tuned to the sodium resonance transition with intracavity etalons. |
