LiDAR or "light detection and ranging" is a way of working out and picturing the distance to an object by shooting ...

The lidar provides vertical profiles and thus a cross-section of the atmosphere along the satellite's flight path. From this, the algorithms developed at TROPOS derive the cloud top height and the ...

airborne and spaceborne lidar systems and applies them for active remote sensing of key meteorological parameters and atmospheric trace gases to facilitate research in weather and climate as well as ...

The laser beam is expanded 5 times to a diameter of 15 mm before emittance into the atmosphere, making the system eye-safe beyond a distance of ~65 m. To improve lidar linear depolarization ...

The experts at Fraunhofer ILT have spent years perfecting the assembly of laser systems for use in the aerospace industry.

China has achieved a significant milestone in space science with the recent completion and national acceptance of the Chinese ...

is a first-of-its-kind resonance lidar under development by the Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics, in collaboration with the Institute for Physics of the Atmosphere at DLR-Oberpfaffenhofen. The ...

Years after graduating, the two former students collaborated to develop the lidar, which combines Sua’s expertise in optics with Yang’s focus on atmospheric science.
