Explore the use of lasers and optics in acquiring data and information about objects and environments from a distance.
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a near-infrared (NIR) dual-channel oxygen-corrected laser heterodyne radiometer (LHR) to measure the vertical profile of wind fields in these regions with high accuracy.
Lasers have been a critical tool for remote sensing and atmospheric studies, allowing scientists to gather precise and accurate data on our environment. From mapping topography to detecting air pollution, lasers have a range of applications that make them invaluable to researchers.
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.
