Recent coherent Doppler lidar technologies for measurements of wind vector have been dedicated toward developments of all solid-state system beyond a wavelength of 1.4 μm. The main reasons are the following; eye- safety, reliabilities, long lifetime, high overall electrical efficiencies, good thermal management, etc. Among them, Tm (Thulium) and Ho (Holumium) doped solid-state lasers operating near 2 μm have been and continue to be favored for many of the remote sensing applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
