Sw. Henderson et al., COHERENT LASER-RADAR AT 2 MU-M USING SOLID-STATE LASERS, IEEE transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, 31(1), 1993, pp. 4-15
Coherent laser radar systems using 2 mum Tm- and Tm,Ho-doped solid-sta
te lasers are useful for the remote range-resolved measurement of atmo
spheric winds, aerosol backscatter, and DIAL measurements of atmospher
ic water vapor and CO2 concentrations. Recent measurements made with a
2 mum coherent laser radar system, advances in the laser technology,
and atmospheric propagation effects on 2 mum coherent lidar performanc
e are described.
