4. Designing a lidar instrument
4.1 Overall design
To define a lidar instrument, the scientific need must be translated into measurement specifications (range, accuracy, spatial and temporal sampling), which in turn are translated into specifications for instrument definition. An optimal architecture is then developed using a digital model
The laser transmitter and detection are the two essential components around...
