Abstract :
Recent technical progress of fiber-optics and nonlinear wavelength conversion improves the performance of 1.5 /spl mu/m coherent Doppler LIDAR (CDL) dramatically. Our new development of the 1.5 /spl mu/m CDL with all-fiber type transmitter/receiver circuit and optical parametric amplifier is briefly described.
