LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed 3D maps of objects and environments.
A team of researchers has recently announced the successful development of a high-efficiency, nanosecond pulsed blue laser operating at 486.1 nm for Advanced Bathymetric Lidar. They achieved this feat by utilizing a frequency quadrupled thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA), marking the first time such a device has been implemented for this purpose.
Airborne lidar bathymetry, a cutting-edge technology that combines light detection and ranging (lidar) with bathymetric principles, has become an invaluable tool for mapping underwater topography.
This breakthrough method demonstrates the remote generation of a white light supercontinuum from an Earth-orbiting satellite, providing an atmospheric in-situ light source for monitoring greenhouse gases and pollutants on a global scale.
