Working with NASA Goddard and AVO Photonics, I have increased the fast tunability of single-frequency NPRO lasers by an order of magnitude. Total tuning range is several GHz, and response bandwidth exceeds 100 kHz, all with the unsurpassed single-frequency performance expected of any NPRO laser. This level of frequency agility may be useful in coherent laser radar systems or other measurement applications.

As a NASA contractor and inventor, I was able to keep this intellectual property, and I would be happy to work with anyone who has an application.
