Frequency addition source of optical radiation information


A 50W FASOR used at the Starfire Optical Range

Frequency addition source of optical radiation (acronym FASOR) is used for a certain type of guide star laser deployed at US Air Force Research Laboratory facilities SOR and AMOS. The laser light is produced in a sum-frequency generation process from two solid-state laser sources that operate at different wavelengths. The frequencies of the sources add directly to a summed frequency. Thus, if the source wavelengths are and , the resulting wavelength is
