In the frame of this thesis, fiber-based laser systems for measurement applications have been further developed to cope with the requirements for space-borne systems. The necessary theoretical background of linear and nonlinear optics as well as of the technologies of optical frequency combs and fiber-optic sensing and the engineering techniques to achieve compatibility with space environment (radiation, vacuum, microgravity, …) have been worked out. The description of effects of mode-locked fiber lasers during thermal-vacuum and radiation tests and particular Peak-Tracking and Time-of-Flight algorithms have been developed and verified by evaluation of test results. The new knowledge gained within this work contributes to current national and European space projects.
