Abstract
A lidar system and method to enable simultaneous accurate and high spatial and temporal resolution measurements of atmospheric temperature, wind, and water vapor. The technology employs a laser (), a telescope (), an acousto-optic modulator () or an electro-optic modulator (), a Thulium-doped fiber amplifier (), and an optical circulator () which projects a laser signal into the atmosphere toward a phenomenon to be studied. The laser is reflected or backscattered by the atmospheric phenomena and retrieved by the telescope (), where the laser is processed by a signal sampler and processor () for analysis.
