Multiwave LD-pumped solid-state lasers for aerosol lidar application

The work is devoted to the development and creation of the powerful all solid–state air–cooled multiwave Nd:YAG laser integrated with the output telescope system and to the development of the LD-pumped solid–state source with the extremely narrow lasing linewidth. The laser sources are meant for operation with the multiwave aerosol LIDAR (atmosphere probing altitude is up to 40 km). Keywords—LD-pumped Nd:YAG laser; LIDAR; multiwave laser source
