Research abstract
Not Available Lidar system efficiency is a critical factor in sensor performance. Furthermore, high-speed or targets can produce substantial Doppler shifts (6 to 7 GHz at 2 mm for a typical spaceborne global wind monitoring scenario). These Doppler shifts exceed current state-of-the-art 2 mm detector technology. A common proposed technique for coping with these large Doppler shifts is to utilize an offset-locked optical local oscillator. However, this approach is complex and may not be needed if high-efficiency wideband photoreceivers can be developed. In this Phase I/II effort we propose to develop high-efficiency wideband (
