Diode lasers for LIDAR

LIDAR stands for "Light Detection and Ranging". It is an optical remote sensing technology which analyses the properties of scattered light to find range or other information about a distant target. In most applications, pulsed lasers are used, and the range to an object is determined by measuring the time delay between transmission of a pulse and detection of the reflected signal. Amongst others, LIDAR technology has applications in

  • Geology
  • Seismology
  • Remote sensing
  • Atmospheric physics


With their extremely narrow linewidth, high frequency stability and unmatched wavelength availability, TOPTICA's scientific lasers are ideal seeders for the high power pulsed lasers employed for LIDAR.
