Teams developing next-generation LIDAR mapping payloads needed a compact, rugged 532 nm source that maintained pulse energy and stability through vibration, temperature swings, and high-altitude duty cycles. Their previous laser drifted thermally and produced inconsistent returns over water and vegetation. By reviewing the requirements with RPMC’s team, they identified a nanosecond 532 nm DPSS platform, such as our Aero Series of high-energy lasers, delivering the stable pule-to-pulse energy needed for reliable multi-return bathymetry and terrain profiling.
Laser Solution: High-energy, conduction-cooled, nanosecond pulsed 532 nm DPSS laser for airborne sensing
Outcome: More consistent foliage and water returns, improved waveform stability, and reliable data quality under representative flight conditions
