Abstract
A LiDAR system including a laser amplification system is disclosed. The laser amplification system includes a laser source and an optical amplifier. The laser source has a laser cavity and is configured to output electromagnetic radiation. The optical amplifier includes quantum dots and is positioned outside the laser cavity to receive the electromagnetic radiation output from the laser source. The optical amplifier amplifies the received electromagnetic radiation using the quantum dots and outputs the amplified electromagnetic radiation.
