Abstract

We are building a coherent Doppler lidar system using Nd:YAG lasers. We are using a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design and thus need an amplifier with in excess of 60-dB gain. The zigzag slab geometry with angular multiplexing provides a convenient way to obtain the required gain in a single laser head since internal reflection geometry allows many passes through the same gain volume.
