Triple-Pulsed 2-Micron Direct Detection Airborne Lidar for Simultaneous and Independent CO2 and H2O Column Measurement Novel Lidar Technologies and Techniques with Path to Space

The project will partner with industry to utilize extensive space-flight laser development expertise to build a unique triple-pulsed 2-µm laser. Project will develop a novel, lightweight, frequecy agile, wavelength turning, and locking system for the triple pulsed IPDA operation. Project will also integrate of the state-of-the-art laser transmitter to the exisiting and upgraded reciever system an strengthen for stable flight operation. Finally, initial ground testing and validation of the IPDA lidar from a mobile lidar trailer will be conducted. More »
