"Mellow out, you Donut" or "The Quest to Realize High-Power, Scalable Laser Transmitters for Lidar Applications"

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Poor beam profiles such as donut modes impede the realization of high-performance laser transmitters for lidar applications. How can laser research meet the requirements of the most important remote sensing technique in atmospheric sciences?
