Laser Requirements for Time Gated Active Night Vision Imaging Systems

After reading this white paper, you will come away with an in-depth understanding of both the history of night vision technology, as well as the current state of modern night vision imaging. This article will further go on to explain the important features and requirements that you need to be aware of when determining which laser source is best for your active imaging application. In this article, we illustrate the critical laser requirements through Optitask’s series of q-switched Er:Glass lasers, which are ideally suited for active night vision imaging, due to both their ruggedized design and high pul… Read More

Laser Requirements for Wind Turbine Monitoring LiDAR Systems

After reading this white paper, you will come to understand the fundamental rationale behind range resolution not being of particular importance for this application and why continuous wave (CW), frequency modulated LiDAR signals are preferred over pulsed laser signals. This article will further go on to provide a brief overview of fiber laser technology and explain why they have become the light source of choice for most commercial LiDAR applications.  Lastly, in the article, the LRL2 single-frequency fiber laser from BKtel is presented as an example of a perfect laser solution with the specifications required to lay the foundation for a successful Doppler LiD… Read More

Single Frequency Fiber Lasers for Doppler LiDAR

After reading this white paper, you will come to understand the fundamentally entangled relationship between the range and velocity resolution of a lidar system and why it is so important to use single frequency laser sources for velocity measurement. This article will further go on to provide a brief overview of fiber laser technology and explain why they have become the light source of choice for most commercial lidar applications. Lastly, in the article, the LRL2 single frequency fiber laser from BKtel is presented as an example of the types of specifications required to lay the foundation for a successful Doppler lid… Read More

Laser Sources for Lidar Applications

We have published an extensive amount of educational content on the fundamentals of LiDAR as well as various LiDAR applications, including self-driving cars, windspeed monitoring, and active night vision imaging systems. In this white paper, we take a much different approach and discuss the wide variety of laser options that RPMC offers for various LiDAR applications. The white paper is broken into three distinct sections, each one highlighting a different type of laser (fiber lasers, DPSS lasers, and microchip lasers). In each section, we will not only discuss the various product offerings but also pair them with the most relevant LiDAR applications for thos… Read More
