Recent developments in Ti:sapphire for remote sensing applicationThe development by NASA of Ti:Al2O3 (Ti:sapphire) lasers in the DIAL mode for spaceborne remote sensing applications is discussed. Experimental results are reviewed which show how the capability of such lasers to meet many of the space transmitter requirements, and diagrams and experimental measurement results are shown. Related Ti:Al2O3 development efforts are briefly addressed.
