A diode pumped, Nd:YAG, Q-switched unstable resonator developed for multi-billion shot, spaced based remote sensing applications

This highly efficient Nd:YAG laser was designed as a prototype NASA-funded transmitter for space-based LIDAR missions. This design completed a 4.8 billion shot lifetest at 242 Hz with 10-15 mJ per pulse and 10 ns pulsewidth.
