FREQUENCY AGILE Tm,Ho:YLF LOCAL OSCILLATOR FOR A SCANNING DOPPLER WIND LIDAR IN EARTH ORBIT
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compact cw Tm,Ho:YLF laser with single-mode tunability over +/4 GHz has been developed into a modular unit containing an isolator and photomixer for offset tuning of the LO from a master oscillator which controls the frequency of a Doppler lidar transmitter. This and an alternative diode laser LO will be described,

An assessment of a three-beam Doppler lidar wind profiling method for use in urban areas
Currently there are few observations of the urban wind field at heights other than rooftop level. Remote sensing instruments such as Doppler lidars provide wind speed data at many heights, which would be useful in determining wind loadings of tall buildings, and predicting local air quality. Studies comparing remote sensing with traditional anemometers carried out in flat, homogeneous terrain o...

متن کاملA Methodology for the Reconstruction of 2D Horizontal Wind Fields of Wind Turbine Wakes Based on Dual-Doppler Lidar Measurements
Dual-Doppler lidar is a powerful remote sensing technique that can accurately measure horizontal wind speeds and enable the reconstruction of two-dimensional wind fields based on measurements from two separate lidars. Previous research has provided a framework of dual-Doppler algorithms for processing both radar and lidar measurements, but their application to wake measurements has not been add...
متن کاملFrequency jitter and spectral width of an injection-seeded Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for a Doppler wind lidar
The design of a 50 Hz single longitudinal mode, diode-pumped and frequency-tripled Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier is described, and the first measurements of output parameters are presented. The laser oscillator is injection-seeded by a tuneable monolithic Nd:YAG ring laser and frequency stabilized by minimising the Q-switch build-up time. The laser system will be an integral part of ...
