Energy calibration of integrated path differential absorption lidars [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2018 The stringent requirements for energy reference measurement represent a challenging task for integrated path differential absorption lidars to measure greenhouse gas columns from satellite or aircraft. The coherence of the lidar transmitter gives rise to speckle effects that have to be considered for accurate monitoring of the energy ratio of outgoing ...

Stabilized master laser system for differential absorption lidar [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2010 Wavelength accuracy and stability are key requirements for differential absorption lidar (DIAL). We present a control and timing design for the dual-stabilized cw master lasers in a pulsed master-oscillator power-amplifier configuration, which forms a robust low-cost water-vapor DIAL transmitter system.
