Abstract
Recent work in high efficiency, narrow linewidth, high power optical amplifier systems makes them attractive candidates for remote sensing from mobile platforms including aircraft and satellites for applications such as wind profiling and trace species measurements of water vapor and carbon dioxide. We first review results of a fiber-based system developed for the measurement of water vapor in the 940 nm region. Using the lessons learned from this system, we then consider the outstanding issues to enable wide spread use of fiber-based systems in remote sensing.
