Explore the spectrum of lidar engineering in this one-of-a-kind introduction. For the first time, this multidisciplinary resource covers all the scientific and engineering aspects of atmospheric lidar – including atmospheric science, spectroscopy, lasers and eye safety, classical optics and electro-optics, electrical and mechanical engineering, and software algorithms – in a single comprehensive and authoritative book. Discover up-to-date material not included in any other book, including simple treatments of the lidar crossover range and depolarization in lidar signals, an improved explanation of lidar data inversion algorithms, digital signal processing applications in lidar, and statistical limitations of lidar signal-to-noise ratios. This is an ideal standalone text for students seeking a thorough grounding in lidar, whether through a taught course or self-study.
Space-based Lidar Remote Sensing Techniques and Emerging Technologies
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of space lidar missions, techniques, and technologies, as presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Space-Based Lidar Remote Sensing Techniques and Emerging Technologies (LIDAR), held in Milos Island, Greece, on June 18–23, 2023. It covers highly diverse topics such as space-based lidar techniques and methodologies; challenges experienced in space lidar missions; planning of new space earth observation lidar missions, including monitoring of topography, cryosphere, biomass, greenhouse and trace gases clouds, aerosols; exploration lidars, including entry, decent and precision landing, as well as hazard avoidance for Mars & Lunar landers missions; results and plans for simulations, airborne experiments and demonstrations as precursors for space missions; emerging space lidar technologies, particularly in lasers, optics, electronics and detectors as well as space lidar reliability and influencing factors, such as effects of the space environment. Written by leading scientists and technologists from government agencies, industries and universities, and selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, the contributions highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
