Paper Abstract
Tesat-Spacecom has developed a series of fiber coupled single frequency lasers for space applications ranging from onboard
metrology for space borne FTIR spectrometers to step tunable seed lasers for LIDAR applications. The cw-seed
laser developed for the ESA AEOLUS Mission shows a 3* 10-11 Allen variance from 1 sec time intervals up to 1000
sec. Q-switched lasers with stable beam pointing under space environments are another field of development. One
important aspect of a space borne laser system is a reliable fiber coupled laser diode pump source around 808nm. A
dedicated development concerning chip design and packaging yielded in a 5*106h MTTF (mean time to failure) for the
broad area emitters. Qualification and performance test results for the different laser assemblies will be presented and
their application in the different space programs.
