Abstract
Coherent Doppler lidars employing CO2 lasers have been well developed for wind shear and moving target measurements. With recent progress in compact and tunable solid state lasers, there is increasing interest in the development of an all solid state coherent lidar. Recently, we have developed a short pulse (<10-ns) coherent wide bandwidth (1-GHz) Doppler Nd:YAG lidar at 1.06 μm for high velocity Doppler measurements with a range resolution of a few meters.
