Abstract
This paper describes the modifications done on the University of Wisconsin-Madison High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) that improved the instrument’s performance. The University of Wisconsin HSRL lidars designed by our group at the Space Science and Engineering Center were deployed in numerous field campaigns in various locations around the world. Over the years the instruments have undergone multiple modifications that improved the performance and added new measurement capabilities such as atmospheric temperature profile and extinction cross-section measurements.
Highlights
Resolution Lidar (HSRL) that improved the on the piezo actuator and controlled by another instrument’s performance
Wisconsin HSRL lidars designed by our group at every four laser shots and tunes the cavity to the the Space Science and Engineering Center were wavelength of the seed laser
High Spectral Resolution Lidars developed in the University of Wisconsin-Madison have proven to be eye-safe and capable of continuous operation in remote areas requiring low maintenance
Summary
The instruments were successfully deployed in 18 field campaigns around the globe including remote locations such as McMurdo Station in Antarctica, seed laser light to a second output, where the 1064 nm light is frequency doubled for use in the instrument calibration. The host laser cavity has a partially reflective mirror and an external KTP frequency doubling crystal mounted after the laser output coupler. KTP converts ~30% of the 1064nm light into the visible 532 nm light with the output power ratio. This paper describes the latest The seed laser is frequency locked to the iodine version of our most advanced HSRL lidar. Absorption line #1109 using a frequency locking setup. The setup uses a 100 mm long iodine
