Description
Aret proposes a rugged, compact, and efficient high-power ultraviolet (UV) sources which will have critical benefits for naval air platforms. The proposed laser will be capable of operating in 320355 nm spectral region, achieve > 5W of optical power with excellent beam-quality (M2 < 2), and achieve extremely-low SWaP, including > 10% wall-plug efficiency. Our approach adds key innovations to proven technology to afford a solution that is rugged and facilitates cost-effective manufacture.
