Abstract
An advanced ground-based and aircraft lidar system has been designed and constructed for making differential absorption profile measurements of pressure and temperature. The high accuracy required for these measurements necessitates a high resolution laser system and a capability for accurately measuring the laser line profile. In addition, the requirements for aircraft operation provide an incentive for the development of a solid state laser system. The system we will describe could also be used to measure atmospheric density, humidity, and aerosols.
