Abstract
The goal of the NASA Workshop on Tunable Solid State Lasers for Remote Sensing is to evaluate solid state laser technology for future remote sensing applications from aircraft, from space shuttle, and from free-flying space platforms. The solid state laser technology is of interest because of its potential for small volume, lightweight, and for efficient, long lifetime operation. One goal of the workshop is to determine just how close we are to realizing that potential and to determine what needs to be done to achieve it.
