Lidar Helps Unravel Environmental Mysteries

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Barbara Grant, Contributing Editor

From coastal waterways to Alpine summits, light detection and ranging technology demonstrates how photonics helps to unravel the mysteries of complex environmental processes while sharpening our vision of seas and skies. In Sweden, for example, researchers at the Defense Research Establishment, Linkoping, are using a frequency doubled Nd:YAG lidar system to map subsurface depths in coastal regions for safer marine navigation. "We have a jagged coastline in the Baltic," said Ove Steinvall laser systems division head in the institute's department of sensor technology, adding that lidar...Read full article
