ABSTRACT:
A multiwavelength laser source for providing a plurality of pulsed laser beams comprises a plurality of laser diodes optically connected with an oscillator to establish a beam of pulses of monochromatic light. A dispersion line for spreading wavelengths in each pulse optically connects the oscillator to a regenerative amplifier. An electro-optical crystal in the regenerative amplifier establishes the repetition rate of pulses in the laser beam and a pulse compressor is optically connected to the regenerative amplifier to establish the duration of each pulse. The laser source may also include a frequency doubler which is optically connected to the output of the pulse compressor to split the laser beam into components having different wavelengths.
