Hampton University Center for Lidar and Atmospheric Sciences Students (CLASS) team and ITT’s Advanced Engineering & Sciences Division have worked together to develop a portable, eye- safe and scanning aerosol lidar system, the system is based on a 1.5 micron, 125 mJ, 20 Hz eye-safe Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO). Its purpose is to remotely detect aerosols, clouds, and pollution in the lower atmosphere, CLASS project is a 5-year undergraduate research training project funded by NASA to educate students in atmospheric science and lidar technologies. The student lidar team has designed, constructed, tested, developing and using the lidar. In this paper, we will focus primarily on the joint Hampton Uni- versity-NASA-ITT design, fabrication and testing of this lidar system to be used for student education, research training and outreach.
