Due to the major role of the sun in heating the earth's surface, the atmospheric planetary
boundary layer over land is inherently marked by a diurnal cycle. The afternoon transition, the …

A 2 μm wavelength, 90 mJ, 5 Hz pulsed Ho laser is described with wavelength control to
precisely tune and lock the wavelength at a desired offset up to 2.9 GHz from the center of a …

The MEthane Remote sensing Lidar missioN (MERLIN) aims at demonstrating the spaceborne
active measurement of atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, based on an …

A 2 μm heterodyne differential absorption lidar (HDIAL) has been operated at the Instïtut
Pierre Simon Laplace, Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (Paris) to monitor the CO_2 …

We document the seasonal evolution of the Saharan atmospheric boundary layer (SABL), in
terms of vertical structure, diurnal cycle, aerosol content, and cloud cover as well as the …

We report on the development and the demonstration of a two-wavelength single-frequency
laser oscillator based on Ho:YLF crystal. This laser is especially suitable for application as a …

Vertical 2-μm Heterodyne Differential Absorption Lidar Measurements of Mean CO2 Mixing
Ratio in the Troposphere in: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology Volume 25 …

This work reports on an all-fiber pulsed laser source for simultaneous remote sensing of
CO_2 concentration and wind velocity in the 2.05 µm region. The source is based on a …

In the framework of space-borne CO_2 lidar development, the transmitter is a critical unit.
We report on the development and the assessment of performances of a 2-μm single-…

We present a hybrid fiber/bulk laser source designed for CO_2 and wind monitoring using
differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL) and coherent detection at 2.05?µm. This source features …
