Abstract

A novel, high PRF CO2 Doppler lidar designed to make range resolved velocity and DIAL measurements to ranges of 3 to 5 km is presented. The transmitter scheme selected is a master oscillator power amplifier combination. Details of the design are given and some preliminary test results are discussed.
