Long term performance of the High Output Maximum Efficiency Resonator (HOMER) laser for NASA super(3)s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar

Long term performance of the High Output Maximum Efficiency Resonator (HOMER) laser for NASA super(3)s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar

We report the results of a 2 year, continuous operational life test of the diode pumped, solid state HOMER laser; a flight-quality prototype, producing over 16 billion, 15mJ, 10ns Q-switched laser pulses with an acceptable measured decay rate.
