Abstract

The utility of carbon dioxide lasers, both cw and pulsed, is now well proven in a variety of remote sensing applications. The remote sensing of atmospheric wind velocity, using Doppler coherent lidar techniques, is one such application. The range and data acquistion rate of such lidars has previously been limited by the pulse energy and average power available from properly frequency stabilized CO₂ lasers.
