Coherent Seed Laser for the AEOLUS Mission

摘要

The paper shows the design and performance of the ALADIN RLH, to be used in the ESA AEOLUS mission. The frequency stability and tunability requirements were met with margin in a space qualified compact setup. The flexible digital interface for the frequency command can adapt to different tuning requirements (larger or smaller step sizes, different stepping sequences) for other possible missions.
