Description

ABSTRACT:Gener8 and Southern Methodist University team together to propose a novel new architecture for a low-phase noise, single-frequency electronically tunable laser array at 852 nm that meets all the demanding requirements for low SWaP+C requirements in the solicitation. A rugged packaging solution is proposed to package the laser head in a volume of 3.0 cubic cm.BENEFIT:The proposed laser system is the key enabling optical component required to miniaturize the atom gyroscope under development at AOSense. This laser array will also be of general benefit to the scientific and R&D community since the availability of the tunable laser will allow new concepts for gyros and other sensors and instrumentation to be quickly prototyped.
