TL;DR: The Australian laser airborne depth sounder WRELADS II was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of using airborne laser techniques for hydrographic survey and meets the requirements of the Royal Australian Navy Hydrographic Service for depth accuracy and provides an adequate data yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birefringence compensation in polarization coupled lasers.
TL;DR: The use of optical rotators and waveplates to compensate for thermally induced birefringence in cylindrical laser rods is reported, which allows polarization coupled lasers to operate efficiently at high average power levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design considerations for a liquid crystal tuned Lyot filter for laser bathymetry
TL;DR: In this paper, the design of a six-stage liquid crystal tuned Lyot filter for operation at a wavelength of 532 nm is described, and the proposed narrow-passband filter will have a bandwidth of less than 0.1 nm.
