This project characterizes a field-deployable 589-nm guide star laser that utilizes non-resonant second harmonic generation. By replacing sensitive resonant frequency-doubling stages with a robust, narrow-band Raman Fiber Amplifier architecture, the system maintains high conversion efficiency without requiring complex locking electronics. This innovation significantly reduces the sensitivity of laser systems to acoustic noise and vibrations in observatory environments.
