Development of an eye-safe diode-laser-based micro-pulse differential absorption lidar (mp-DIAL) for atmospheric water-vapor and aerosol studies

This dissertation describes the design, construction, and testing of an all diode-laser-based water-vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) instrument through two distinct stages of development. A second generation low pulse energy, high pulse repetition frequency DIAL instrument was developed to...
