Center Independent Research & Development: GSFC IRAD
Laser Source for LiDAR Instrument (GSFC IRAD)
Project Description
This IRAD project continues the work begun under an FY2017 IRAD award for a laser source based on photonic crystal. Successfully developing key subsystems will be a critical step toward a viable LiDAR instrument that would provide the ability to obtain signatures of numerous species.
For this FY2018, we propose to continue work on the laser source.
