One significant advancement in DIAL technology is the integration of coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL) with DIAL systems. A recent study demonstrated a micro-pulse lidar system that effectively ...

Already several years before the satellite launch, an airborne prototype of the direct-detection Doppler wind lidar, the ALADIN Airborne Demonstrator (A2D), was developed at DLR in collaboration with ...

Energy scaling has also been a focus of recent research, with the development of a diode-pumped Alexandrite laser designed for mobile Doppler LIDAR systems. This laser achieved a maximum pulse ...

Named after the Greek god of the winds, the satellite carried the revolutionary instrument ALADIN - the first European lidar and the world's first Doppler wind lidar in space. The Aeolus mission was a ...
