Abstract
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.
