Commercially available pulsed fibre lasers at ~1.5 µm have many uses in imaging, defense, communications and light radar (LIDAR) [1]. For 3D scanning LIDAR, higher signal-to-noise ratio requires lasers with high average power and high pulse repetition rate (ideally several MHz) for faster scanning rate, whereas to improve distance resolution requires pulse durations.
