摘要

This study presents an eye-safe,single-mode,nanosecond-pulsed,and all-fiber laser source with masteroscillator-power-amplifier configuration at 1550 nm that is suitable for high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) imaging light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system.The output peak power of 7.6 kW is obtained at the 1.2-ns pulse width and 50-kHz repetition rate.The single-mode pulse laser output ensures the range precision and imaging results of the LIDAR system.The laser is used as a transmitter for the 3D imaging LIDAR system.The detailed characteristics of the LIDAR system and the results of the 3D imaging are presented.
