National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Testing of the IMRA Wattlite Laser.

DE200515013505

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Subrat, B.; Erbert, G.
Page Count	12
Abstract	Long term testing of the IMM Wattlite oscillator began this month. The oscillator was operated for over 250 hours while monitoring the output power, the center wavelength and the pointing stability. Due to safety requirements, data was only collected during normal working hours. At night, the external (LLNL) shutter was closed so no data was collected, however, the laser continued to operate. In this mode of operation, approximately 80 hours of data was taken during the 250 hours of operation. The laser was turned off during the two weekend periods of this test series and restarted the following Monday. During the two cold start periods, the laser required about two hours for the wavelength to stabilize. Excluding the warm-up periods, the wavelength drift was approximately plus or minus 0.1nm over the 250 hours of operation.
