NASA Langley Research Center in conjunction with Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., are developing a small, lightweight, diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser to enable a spaceborne backscatter lidar to measure clouds and aerosols. The frequency-doubled laser has total output energy of 220 mJ at 27 Hz. The laser has been specifically designed for space applications and features conductive cooling and a minimum three-year design life.
