Guidelines for Space Flight Environments
Abstract:
High-power laser diode arrays (LDAs) are used for a variety of space-based remote sensor laser programs as an energy source for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. LDAs have been flown on NASA missions including MOLA, GLAS and MLA and have continued to be viewed as an important part of the laser-based instrument component suite [1] (Figure 1). There are currently no military or NASA-grade, -specified, or –qualified LDAs available for “off-the-shelf” use by NASA programs. There has also been no prior attempt to define a standard screening and qualification test flow for LDAs for space applications.
