  IGF::OT::IGF OTHER FUNCTION - FOR LIGHTWEIGHT AND POWER-EFFICIENT INSTRUMENTS THAT ENABLE ELEMENTAL AND/OR MINERALOGY ANALYSIS, Q-PEAK PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A COMPACT, ROBUST, AND EFFICIENT INSTRUMENT CAPABLE OF PERFORMING IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY, LASER-RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY (LRS) AND LASER INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY (LIBS). THE MAIN ADVANTAGE IN USING THESE TECHNIQUES FOR PLANETARY SCIENCE IS THE ABILITY TO RAPIDLY COLLECT A WEALTH OF CHEMICAL INFORMATION, BY SIMPLY DIRECTING A LASER BEAM ON REMOTE TARGETS OF INTEREST. NO SAMPLE PREPARATION IS NECESSARY. AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE RAMAN/LIBS INSTRUMENT IN PHASE I, WE DEVELOPED, BUILT AND TESTED A 1.5 CUBIC-INCH, Q-SWITCHED, SOLID STATE LASER FITTED WITH COMMERCIAL, OFF-THE-SHELF OPTICAL COMPONENTS. THE LASER PRODUCED ~1 MJ,<2 NS-DURATION PULSES AT 523-NM WAVELENGTH AND WAS USED TO ANALYZE A NORITE SAMPLE BY MEANS OF RAMAN/LIBS TECHNIQUES. IN PHASE II WE PROPOSE TO FURTHER MINIATURIZE AND RUGGEDIZE THE PHASE I LASER TO A SIZE OF<1 CUBIC INCH. WE WILL SCALE UP THE ENERGY-PER-PULSE UP TO 2 MJ AND TEST THE LASER IN A WIDE RANGE OF ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS VIBRATION, VACUUM AND TEMPERATURE. WE WILL DESIGN AND TEST THE OPTICS IN A CHAMP INSTRUMENT MODIFIED TO ACCOMMODATE THE COMPACT LASER. THE TRL OF THE LASER WILL BE 6 AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE EFFORT.

  THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PHASE II EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP AND DELIVER A RUGGEDIZED, SINGLE-FREQUENCY, MJ-LEVEL, 2050-NM MASTER OSCILLATOR POWER AMPLIFIER SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR COHERENT LIDAR APPLICATIONS. THE LASER SYSTEM IS BASED ON A LOW-AVERAGE POWER, PULSED, SINGLE-FREQUENCY, 2-UM HO-LASER SOURCE. PULSED OPERATION OF THE HO-OSCILLATOR IS ACHIEVED VIA PASSIVE Q-SWITCHING USING ROBUST CR2+-DOPED SATURABLE ABSORBERS. DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH PULSED SEED SOURCES ENABLES THE DESIGN OF COMPACT, RUGGED, RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT LIDAR TRANSMITTERS BASED ON ALL-AMPLIFIER ARCHITECTURE. DIRECT DIODE-PUMPING USING THE LATEST 1.9-UM DIODE LASER TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES IMPROVED OSCILLATOR RELIABILITY AND COMPACTNESS. EFFICIENT, TM:FIBER LASER PUMPED, BULK HO:YLF SINGLE-STAGE AMPLIFIER PROVIDES ENERGY SCALING TO MJ LEVEL. THE CHOICE OF A 2-UM HO-LASER MATERIAL (AS OPPOSED TO 1.5-UM ER-LASERS) ENABLES EFFICIENT POWER/ENERGY SCALING OF THE PULSED SEED OSCILLATOR OUTPUT IN HIGH-GAIN HO-AMPLIFIERS. THIS APPROACH DECREASES THE NUMBER OF AMPLIFYING STAGES, SIMPLIFIES THE OVERALL DESIGN AND PACKAGING, AND IMPROVES THE ELECTRICAL EFFICIENCY OF THE COMPLETE LASER SYSTEM AS COMPARED TO THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY.
