Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description We have demonstrated that diamond Raman lasers are able to generate high-energy pulses in the eye-safe regime with properties relevant for lidar.
Exploitation Route Industrial collaborators may choose to implement this approach in lidar, systems, in particular following further verification that modified but still simple commercial fiber laser systems can be used as pump sources.
