title: Injection-seeded, single-frequency, q-switched erbium:glass laser for remote sensing.
abstract: We have built and characterized an injection-seeded, Q-switched, flash-lamp-pumped, eye-safe Er:glass laser that is suitable for coherent remote sensing. The output of the device is a 400-ns, single-frequency, transform-limited pulse of 1 mJ at 1.552 mum.
