Abstract:

Mariner-40m, PSL, Requirements, Laser Amplifier Requirements

• Seed laser wavelength (2050 nm)
  
• Seed laser power 100 mW
  
• Seed linewidth: less than 1MHz (free-running from OPO)
  
  • Seed line width will reduce to ~1Hz when frequency stabilization is applied. Amplifier must support this.
  
  
• Req'd output power: 5W-10W (stretch goal of 25W)
  
• S-polarization
  
• Output RIN = similar to NPRO
  
  • In range 10Hz-10kHz <= (5E-6)*(10Hz/f)^0.5
    
  • Low frequency variation (DC-1Hz) < 1%
  
  
• Actuation of amplifier power (ideally 20dB).
  
• Computer interface of amp?
